On Thursday, June 12, 2025, the first focus group meeting for the development of the Local Action Plan to support youth mental health in formal and non-formal education in Tuzla Canton was held at the premises of the Amica Educa Association.
The meeting brought together key stakeholders from the fields of education, health, social protection, and the civil sector, who jointly began working on this important document within the framework of the international MEET Project (staviti link ovaj, a ako ne može onda link na opis projekta MEET)) – Mental Wellbeing in Education for Disadvantaged Youth.
Participants shared experiences and formulated recommendations based on previous activities, including the Youth Mental Health Lab. Discussions focused on the needs of young people, challenges in the support systems, and possibilities for improving cross-sectoral collaboration and inclusion of vulnerable groups.
The establishment of focus groups represents an important step toward creating sustainable public policies that place youth mental health as a priority. Together, we are building the foundation for a healthier and more inclusive educational environment!
