About the project

Promoting Mental Wellbeing in VET (vocational education and training)

1.11.2014 - 30.09.2016

The project is  funded by European Comission / Erasmus+ Program. Administration and implementation of the program is done by  CIMO, an expert organization in international mobility and co-operation.

 

Why this is needed?

  • Psychological distress and mental health problems are the leading cause for work absenteeism in the EU.
  • Dropping out is one of the major challenges in secondary vocational education and it has a strong association to mental health probleM
  • Training mental wellbeing skills for the students in VET has been limited

 

The goal of the project is to

  • develop the professional competence of teachers, directors and in-company trainers in promoting mental health in VET.
  • provide concrete tools: material and methods that help students combine mental health skills with vocational skills, and which students, parents and internship companies can find beneficial.
  • the material and the training programme are structured around five themes: mental wellbeing as a resource, self-knowledge, emotions and interaction, coping skills and the learning community.
