POSTPONED – NEW DATE COMING SOON

Recognizing the unique challenges faced by Christian youth, we are excited to announce an upcoming online focus group aimed at creating a safe and supportive space for dialogue and reflection. Whether it’s navigating societal expectations, struggling with identity, or facing discrimination, our mental well-being can be impacted. But here’s the thing: we’re not alone.

Together, we can create a space where we can be heard, understood, and supported, because the truth is that our identities are valid, and our experiences matter. Let’s pause and acknowledge the strength it takes to navigate a world that isn’t always accepting of who we are.

Because when we shine a light on these challenges, we’re not just raising awareness, we’re advocating for change.

Let’s break the stigma, challenge stereotypes, and embrace our unique journeys.

Our focus group will be led by an experienced facilitator with backgrounds in mental health advocacy and human rights education and by WSCF Europe members. They will ensure that the discussion remains respectful, inclusive, and productive.

Why Participate?

• Safe Space: This is an opportunity to engage in open and honest dialogue in a safe and supportive environment.
• Voice and Impact: Your insights and experiences can contribute to a better understanding of the challenges faced by Christian youth in the realm of mental health and education.

This activity is part of our annual work plan “Share the Care”, funded by the European Youth Foundation of the Council of Europe and is supported by Otto Per Mille of the Waldensian Church.

The work plan focuses on mental health as a human right and its overarching aim is to contribute to empowering young people from different European backgrounds to participate in pluralistic democracy, to promote human rights, and to build inclusive societies for all.

This project is designed, implemented, and evaluated by young people for young people.
