The Well@School project builds new knowledge and practices for higher education. The aim of the project is to ensure that primary school teachers, health professionals and curators have the competences required for promoting mental health in school communities, using digital methods.
 
School professionals face the challenges related to the mental well-being of school children, in their daily work. New kind of competences are needed so that children and young people can receive support and help for finding ways to cope with various challenges affecting mental health.

Despite the various mental health promotion trainings and interventions, the number of children and young people with mental health challenges is high. In addition, various psychiatric disorders are a major factor in the lives of children and young people worldwide. School professionals need up-to-date information and sufficient understanding of today’s needs and means of mental health promotion.
