Implementation of the model of welfare consultants in the municipality of Telšiai district

#Netylėk-Pasikalbėk

Good emotional well-being is a condition for the happiness and well-being of an individual and society

Stress indicators are particularly high in Lithuania – every second worker in our country suffers from stress at work. ​Stress in the work environment can cause severe emotional experiences, damage mental and physical health. There is a lack of strengthening of mental health and emotional literacy among young people as well – today 58 percent. children and young people experience bullying and initiate it themselves. ​Wellness projects and programs for the retirement age group are mostly aimed at improving physical health. However, the mental health of the elderly requires the same attention as physical health.
