Project description:

The issue of mental health of children and adolescents is not solved systematically in the Czech educational system. The project Relax Yourself reflects the present situation of frequent isolation and uncommon conditions at schools. There is increasing need of practical solutions how to improve their mental state and their ability to prevent or overcome mental discomfort. 

The aim of the project Relax Yourself is a pupil (11 – 16) who can understand that mental health is an important part of life and well being. 

The project comes with an audiovisual educational program of 8 thematically focused modules (90 minutes each). The modules consist of interactive methodical procedures, exercises and games, user friendly methodology and a list of thematic literature for teachers. The program can be used during school lessons, project days or schools in nature. 

In addition, there will be 20 podcasts recorded in cooperation with experts or people with personal expeerience of mental discomfort or desease. Several seminars will be held for teachers and parents in cooperation with project partners.
