Vrnitev k naravi: Opolnomočenje mladih za preprečevanje odvisnosti s pomočjo gozdne terapije

<< Objectives >>Through the implementation of the project, we aim to develop innovative methods using forest therapy to improve the mental well-being of young people and prevent addiction, particularly to energy drinks, and other legal substances. A manual will be created, outlining methods that will be tested during youth mobilities. Young people, especially those with fewer opportunities, will be empowered for youth work. The developed methods will be widely applicable in healthcare and education.<< Implementation >>The project includes transnational meetings, training sessions and youth mobilities (with a focus on young people with fewer opportunities) in the field of forest therapy. It also involves pilot testing the developed forest therapy methods for addiction prevention, developing and distributing a manual with methods for enhancing mental well-being through forest therapy, event evaluations, strengthening EU values and events to disseminate results among youth, professionals, and the local community<< Results >>The expected results include empowering young people with new competencies for youth work, increasing awareness and understanding of addiction and mental health issues among youth, and creating innovative intellectual outputs developed by young people to support their peers in overcoming addiction and promoting mental health. An e-manual will be published and distributed, containing methods for addiction prevention through forest therapy, and youth mobility will be implemented.
