▶Objectives
The project will develop knowledge and competences for specialists working with youth about ecoanxiety and its mental and social effects, giving them the necessary tools, resources and methods to recognize climate anxiety in young people and help them manage and alleviate it. For youth, the project will develop competences about self-help methods to increase individual and social coping skills, improving their mental health and wellbeing and increasing their participation in civil society.
▶Activities
The project partners will develop intellectual output in the form of Training Programme, Handbook and Support Group Guidelines, Self-Help Workbook and educational website. Combined with that and supporting these outputs, there will be one Train-the-trainers skillshare event, 3 trainings in partner countries, Support Group pilot run meetings for a longer period in all partner countries, and several dissemination events also in all partner countries
▶Impact
Combining the knowledge of environmental organisations, youth workers and mental health professionals, the project will result in a practical Training Programme, Handbook and Support Group Guidelines about ecoanxiety for people working with youth, increasing the quality of youth work. For young people directly, the project will result in a Self-Help Workbook and educational website, sharing the tools and resources to help in overcoming the paralysing effect of ecoanxiety.
