You4Health! wants to empower young people to contribute to reducing excessive alcohol and drug use, and their consequences on wellbeing and mental health.
Young people’s wellbeing and mental health are disproportionately affected by alcohol and drug use. This is a top priority for youth organisations in Europe.
1. We have established a Youth Advisory Group (YAG) to contribute to all project activities and outputs.
2. We have mapped the scientific and grey literature, as well as surveying youth organisations in Europe, to collect good practices and examples of youth-led health promotion interventions among young people (18-29 years).
3. We have created an online training platform where youth organisations can find resources for implementing effective health projects in their local communities.
Good practices and examples
We have mapped youth-led interventions for preventing or reducing young adults' alcohol and substance use and related negative consequences. You will find examples of programmes, policies, and practices aimed at improving health and well-being or at reducing harm.
Online training platform
We have created a freely-accessible online training platform where youth organisations can find resources for implementing effective health projects in their local communities.
Bottom-up approach
The international project Youth Advisory Group (YAG) have contributed to all project activities in order to tailor project outputs to young people’s needs.
International multidisciplinary partnership
Partners includes three youth organisations (AEGEE-Europe, YHO and IFMSA), a training and education provider (Media Creativa), and a higher education research institution (UCSC).
