The Project

This project serves to support and advocate teenage mental health by educating parents to know when their child is struggling and how to help them in a phase of hardship. It is the expansion of the work I did for my Personal Project in Gr. 10, which was a teenage mental health promotion workshop for parents at my school. My plan to do this expansion is to hold multiple workshops for student mental health advocates from students at international schools in Germany and beyond. The workshops will have a „train-the-trainer format“ and I will instruct the attendees on how to hold a similar workshop to the one I held for my personal project and how to become a mental health advocate. This way, the student mental health advocates can continue the work I did for my personal project whilst simultaneously being able to „train“ additional mental health advocates, creating a global network of teenage mental health advocates.
