On 18 October 2021, an online seminar “Mental health in digital environments - The role of European Youth Card in supporting a resilient generation” took place on-line, organised by the Partial Agreement on Youth Mobility, EYCA and the Slovenian Youth Agency (SLOAM).
As one of the strongest side effects of the COVID-19 pandemic was a rise in anxiety, depression and other mental health issues among young people, the seminar aimed to ensure that mental health is being promoted as a policy priority at national and European level and that youth work adapts and includes services to identify, guide and support young people with mental health challenges.
The seminar was dedicated to policy makers, youth workers/service providers, mental health professionals and researchers, youth NGOs and youth card holders. It offered space to the professionals and young people to have a coordinated approach on this topic and come up with recommendations for policy makers and youth card organisations.
