The general objective of this project is to equip staff in various settings (schools, workplaces, older peoples’ living environment) with the resources required to enhance the mental wellbeing of young people, the labour force and older people. This project will enable professionals working in these areas to acquire the appropriate skills and knowledge to address these issues through effective mental health promotion.
The main thrust of the project is to build upon existing expertise; to transform this expertise into usable and useful manuals for people working in the field; and to use existing networks and resources to ensure that the project outputs are used as widely as possible in as many countries and languages as possible.
The project aims to:
• Produce MHP manuals targeted at the three settings
• Develop a MHP training specification
• Create an e-learning course
• Field test the manuals and training
• Amend the manuals and training
• Valorise the manuals and training through mental health networks and multiplier organisations
