Youth workers are vital figures in the lives of young people, providing a safe space for support and guidance. The project prioritizes youth worker well-being and provides them with resilience-building tools and continuous professional development opportunities. Through innovative interventions and advocacy, we empower youth workers to offer quality support while advocating for policies that value youth work. The project develops well-being planner and toolkit to achieve these objectives.

Mental health is a global concern for young people and youth educators. Mental ill-health does not discriminate when targeting young people. Young people in all sectors of education can suffer with mental ill-health, as can the educators who support and mentor them. As such, there is significant potential for the project to have an equal impact on educators in the adult education, VET, and school sectors, as well as lecturers and educators engaged in tertiary education.

Rise&Shine addresses the mental health needs of youth workers across various professional and voluntary roles throughout Europe. By focusing on the well-being of youth workers, the project aims to enhance their ability to support young people across different education sectors. This comprehensive approach creates synergies between diverse domains, improving the quality of education and training delivery while addressing the global concern of mental health among both young people and educators.
