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.
What is a Welfare Consultant?
