Join Listen Up at the AGIS Pre-Conference in Potsdam, Germany, for an exciting two-day in-person student-led event focused on student mental health advocacy. The two day programme aims to equip students aged 14+ with the necessary skills and knowledge to become advocates for mental health in their schools and communities so that they may educate parents with the hope of removing associated stigma and helping children and young people to access mental health support earlier.
During this training, participants will have the opportunity to learn about various mental health topics, including recognizing signs of anxiety, depression and other common forms of mental illness, promoting positive mental well-being, and destigmatizing mental health issues. Through interactive workshops and discussions, students will develop practical strategies to raise awareness and support their peers by educating parents, guardians and caregivers, so that children and young people avoid delays in accessing suitable mental health services quickly and when needed the most.
Don't miss out on this unique opportunity to make a difference in your school and make a positive impact on the mental health of your fellow students. Join us at the AGIS Schools' Student Mental Health Advocacy Training Programme - Listen Up! on 19-20 September 2024 and be part of this new and exciting project!
