Teams of psychologists and social workers will facilitate interactive sessions in schools teaching children and youth to discover how a healthy lifestyle influences their:
✔️Emotional state
✔️Concentration capacity
✔️Energy level &
✔️Inner balance
Thus, children and adolescents will understand that mental health is linked to the way they take care of their bodies and the way they manage their emotions and relationships.
📆 The piloting program will last 12 months and consists of 5 Modules.
Each module supports kids’ and young people’s well-being, understanding, emotional literacy, and happiness:
💪Module 1: Physical Well-being – Helps kids and young people develop healthy habits through rest, nutrition, hygiene, and an understanding of disabilities.
🧠Module 2: Cognitive Well-being – Explores how the brain works, how to process information, stay motivated and build resilience in both success and failure.
🌈Module 3: Emotional Well-being – Teaches how to understand emotions, manage strong feelings, develop self-control, and build resilience.
🌎Module 4: Spiritual Well-being – Encourages reflection on values, beliefs, human and children’s rights, inclusion, gender equality, and making ethical choices.
🤝Module 5: Social Well-being – Develops skills for building strong relationships, adapting to social groups, setting boundaries, recognizing toxic situations, and practicing empathy.
We are thankful to the 10 schools in Iasi, Bacău, and Vaslui County for opening their doors for learning and growing in the well-being of children! 🙏
