The WELLTEENS project is a transformative initiative aimed at supporting the mental health and well-being of refugee teenagers across Europe, with a particular focus on those affected by the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. Through innovative and accessible psychoeducational tools, WELLTEENS seeks to empower teenagers with resources to navigate their emotional challenges, foster peer support, and build resilience in the face of adversity.

PROJECT OBJECTIVES

  • Promote Mental Well-Being: Address the unique needs of teenagers displaced by war, offering tools for trauma coping, emotional tracking, and fostering a sense of belonging.
  • Enhance Accessibility to Support: Provide self-help resources and peer-support mechanisms, bridging gaps in access to professional counseling.
  • Encourage Community Building: Create a supportive environment that emphasizes the importance of reaching out for help and engaging in open communication.
  • Reduce Barriers to Assistance: Offer basic psychological support to children while they await professional care, improving service accessibility and reducing waiting times.

KAY ACTIVITIES

  1. Collaborative Video Creation: Engage refugee teenagers and their peers in host countries to co-create a series of videos that capture their lived experiences and insights.
  2. Psychoeducational App Development: Design a user-friendly mobile app to help teenagers build emotional resilience, cope with challenges, and improve self-awareness.
  3. Pilot Testing and Evaluation: Implement and rigorously evaluate the developed resources, ensuring cultural relevance and effectiveness for diverse backgrounds.

INNOVATIVE RESOURCES

The project will develop:

  • A mobile app and video series addressing critical issues such as mental health, social challenges, education, career development, and identity.
  • Educational content reflecting Gen Z’s priorities, including climate change, racial justice, and gender equality.
  • Practical tools for navigating the complexities of modern life, from social media’s impact on mental health to evolving job markets.

ANTICIPATED RESULTS

  • Teenagers-to-Teenagers Narrative: Establish a fresh perspective on adolescence, shedding light on Gen Z’s unique challenges, aspirations, and opportunities.
  • Skill Development: Equip teenagers with stress management strategies and resilience-building techniques to maintain mental health.
  • Tailored Support: Create responsive, digital resources that address the specific needs of refugee and non-refugee teenagers, enhancing their capacity for emotional well-being.
