PROJECT RESULTS

  • Result 1: Microcredential teachers’ training on coping strategies and adaptive behaviour to students affected by psychological disorders

Thanks to this training we will enable our teachers to be able to value the individual by involving him/her in teamwork activities and analysing the positive results looking for motivating him/her. Therefore, teachers will be able to personalise the learning path and define the program’s expectations in cooperation with the learner and how to encourage students’ independence and to cope with their behavioural or/and mental disturbances including provision of additional support (if needed and requested) by other professionals such as psychologist, psychiatrists or social workers.

In view of the high prevalence rates of mental health problems in adolescents and their importance for young people’s scholastic development, and in view of the low uptake of the relevant services provided by the healthcare system in Bulgaria and Spain, the risks of mental health problems should be identified at an early stage and reduced by means of preventive measures.

Qualified advanced training of teachers at all types of schools on the subject of mental health problems and disorders in adolescents with mental health disturbances will be the final outcome from the activity.

  • Result 2: Educational videos to raise the awareness among students about their mental health and how and where to seek for support
