Acronym of the Project: HeWe
The HeWe project was created in response to the increasing mental health challenges faced by students in Vocational Education and Training (VET). In recent years, young learners have been experiencing higher levels of stress, anxiety and emotional pressure resulting from academic expectations, social influences and personal circumstances. These challenges do not only affect their wellbeing but also their performance, motivation and engagement in learning.
Recognizing the importance of addressing these issues within educational contexts, HeWe aims to develop a comprehensive and inclusive framework that promotes mental health awareness, strengthens emotional resilience and creates supportive environments within VET institutions. The project intends to integrate mental health into everyday school practices, ensuring that students have access to tools, knowledge and support systems that help them navigate personal challenges and succeed academically and professionally.
Key Objectives:
- Promote mental health awareness within VET settings.
- Strengthen students’ emotional resilience by providing young people with practical tools and strategies to cope with stress, anxiety and emotional challenges.
- Build strong support networks within institutions.
- Improve wellbeing across learning environments.
- Develop sustainable and inclusive mental health educational resources.
- Empower Educators to Support Student Mental Health.
