It was a pleasure to write about why #regionalcooperation matters and why do we, as youth from the #WesternBalkans, rightly belong to #EuropeanUnion 🇪🇺

Thank you @CentarOnline for an amazing cooperation🙏

Mental health of #youth is often forgotten topic,but its relevance gets higher every day & data is there to back it up:

👉🏻 50% of young people in #NorthMacedonia avoid seeking help due to shame
👉🏻 47% because of financial constraints,&
👉🏻 47% underestimate the overall significance of their problems

This makes importance of official mental health strategies for youth even higher, but there are good news 👇🏻

Yesterday, North Macedonia adopted its designated Youth Mental Health Strategy 2024-2026 ⏭️ created by youth & policy makers on equal foot

Glad RCC’s @rccWBYL was able to provide help & support during this process
