The Mental Health Literacy Forum is organized under the project “Mental Health Literacy,” funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union.
The evening will open with a panel discussion featuring experts from different countries, who will explore some of today’s most urgent and nuanced questions about youth mental health.
We will discuss topics such as:
- The difference between mental health and mental illness and why it matters;
- The rise of over-medicalization and how we define “normal” struggles;
- The growing awareness around mental health — and the risk of turning it into a social identity rather than a practice;
- How social media and digital culture shape young people’s self-esteem and emotional regulation;
- The intersection of youth work and mental health support — where the boundaries lie and how to navigate them;
- How mental health literacy can break stigma and foster connection.
🧩 Agenda:
- Expert panel discussion and open dialogue with professionals from across Europe + discussions and Q&A time
- Resource sharing: Participants will receive practical tools and materials developed during the Erasmus+ project to support their work with young people
- Networking & cocktail: A relaxed informal session for deeper conversations and collaboration
📝 Participation: The event is free, but places are limited.
Participation is possible only with prior registration and confirmation from the organizing team.
Confirmed participants will receive an official confirmation email by 12 November 2025.
