Exciting News! The FES! Project is Back!
We're thrilled to announce the launch of a new edition of the FES! (Make it Happen!) project, organized by the UFEC's Social and International Action Areas in collaboration with the Barcelona Provincial Council.
This project aims to prioritize the mental health of our youth, who have been greatly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. According to the Catalan Mental Health Federation, mental health disorders among young people have increased by 47%, eating disorders by 135%, and suicide attempts by 195%.
Through sports, beach games, and English language learning, FES! seeks to reverse these alarming statistics and ensure the well-being of our youth. Last year, we successfully piloted the project in Barcelona with 30 participants, and this year, we're expanding to Viladecans and Arenys de Mar, with plans to include a third municipality in September.
Join us in supporting the mental health of our youth and making a positive impact on their lives. Stay tuned for more updates and success stories from the FES! project. Together, we can make a difference! #FESProject #YouthMentalHealth #MakeItHappen
