Description
The aim of the project is to develop youth-friendly healthcare services (YFHCS). During the project various activities will be organized in order to develop previously implemented 8 algorithms. The YFHCS coordinator will organize quizzes, lectures and discussions on these algorithms for youth, and will organize month of changes for youth. A psychologist, who will be working at least 0.5 full-time, will provide individual counseling and group sessions for young people. There will be organized events to prevent the use of psychoactive substances in educational institutions, the Snow Ball Camps. In the selected primary healthcare institution the principle of a “green corridor” will be introduced to youth-friendly healthcare services. The development of the Model will require cooperation with stakeholders from various sectors: social security, personal health care, law enforcement, education and non-governmental youth organizations. The stakeholders will contribute to the promotion of events and activities and will provide space for events and activities. The premises (event hall and psychologist''s office) for provision of YFHCSs will be established.

The expected results - development of the Model in Klaipėda city, improved accessibility and quality of public health care services to young people, decreased inequalities in access to health care services.
