At the suggestion of the Children and Youth Board members, we organized an online webinar titled “Mental Health Protection of Children and Youth”, with the participation of 27 attendees from 11 municipalities across Bosnia and Herzegovina.
During the webinar, participants had the opportunity to learn about the importance of safeguarding mental health, as it is essential for achieving emotional stability and resilience, building healthy relationships, succeeding in school and the workplace, maintaining physical health, developing self-esteem, and preventing more serious mental health disorders.An interactive approach—including quizzes and discussions—helped participants gain a deeper understanding of this important topic and empowered them to take practical action both in their everyday lives and in their work with children and young people.
Participant takeaway: “Anyone can develop mental health challenges, regardless of how strong, brave, or resilient we are! Taking care of yourself is a sign of strength!”
