...and if you’ve reached your limit... you should know that this too shall pass.
The EU is tackling the issue of youth mental health by focusing on early intervention, creating safer digital spaces, and fighting stigma.
If you or someone you know ever needs a safe space to talk, call:
📞116 111📞
It’s a continent-wide network of free, anonymous youth support lines.
You are not broken, you are human.

@EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu You do know that Iceland (not in the EU….) did an excellent job, right? https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6918020/ And I assume there is willingness to learn, even from countries not in the EU. And guess what: a safer digital space wasn’t even really needed. Because if there are enough ‘third spaces’ for the youth, they prefer hanging out with each other much more than hanging behind a screen. But ‘third spaces’ are in decline fast.
