MoMErasmus-project

The project has the aim to support young people with mental health issues. It is based on a survey carried out by the Youth Trust on the Isle of Wight into the trends among young people concerning their mental health and their awareness of the support organisations available to them. The alarming results inspired further research into this increasing issue. Since in the survey teachers and peers were identified as the people students would turn to if they could not find support among their families, it has been decided to create a close network of staff and students young who can provide help. Therefore teacher training will be an essential element of the project in order to equip teachers with the necessary skills to support their students and a group of selected students will be trained as well to become mental health ambassadors to support their peers.
