Project description:
This training course is created to promote mental hygiene and mental wellbeing in everyday life. From a young age, we are taught that maintaining physical health and practicing basic daily hygiene (shower, brush our teeth, wash our hands…) is important but we are rarely taught to look after our mental health as if maintaining emotional balance and a mature management of our thoughts would be innate to everyone.
Through this training we aim to equip youth workers with innovative methods to help youngsters regularly maintain psychological balance using mix of physical activities and personal care activities.
