I Feel, You Feel!
About this event
Introducing I Feel, You Feel! The first ever event of its kind celebrating and raising awareness of mental health with and for young people. This event will celebrate World Mental Health Day every year – this year on the 9th instead of 10th so we can hopefully get more people in schools and professionals working to get young people to atten. In the future we hope that this event will become a face-to-face event and will happen every year going forward.
Once signed up, you will receive a program a week before the event with hyperlinks and details of each of the events for you to pick and choose which ones you would like to attend. Below you can see the list of sessions happening times to be confirmed and more details to be added shortly.
These events will also be live on Facebook, but by signing up to the Zoom you willl be able to have a more interactive experience and more direct contact with the presenters and take part in questions and answers.
This event is intended to be run by young people, for young people across Europe and become a yearly event.
