Description
The issue of mental health of children and adolescents is not solved systematically in the Czech educational system. The project Relax Yourself reflects the present situation of frequent isolation and uncommon conditions at schools. There is an increasing need for practical solutions how to improve their mental state and their ability to prevent or overcome mental discomfort. The aim of the project Relax Yourself is a pupil (11 – 16) who can understand that mental health is an important part of life and well-being.
The project comes with an audiovisual educational program of 8 thematically focused modules (90 minutes each). The modules consist of interactive methodical procedures, exercises and games, user-friendly methodology, and a list of thematic literature for teachers. The program can be used during school lessons, project days, or schools in nature.
In addition, there will be 20 podcasts recorded in cooperation with experts or people with personal experience of mental discomfort or disease. Several seminars will be held for teachers and parents in cooperation with project partners.
