These young people often have serious difficulties in externalizing their behaviours, experiencing hyperactivity and frequent crises caused by challenges in stress management and a lack of resilience.

Providing services to these young people is a significant challenge, as youth workers must learn to handle the situation effectively, both for the well-being of the young people and for their own psychological health. It is common for youth workers to struggle in managing the traumatic experiences of young people, which can lead to secondary trauma and burnout for the staff themselves.

Better stress management and greater resilience are therefore key for both groups to handle daily behavioural issues and maintain a calm and peaceful everyday life. Using techniques specifically developed for this group, youth workers and young people will acquire the skills needed to reduce the frequency and severity of behavioural crises across the partner countries. This is a priority objective, as it directly relates to the safety and protection of both young people and the staff working with them.

To achieve this, an innovative curriculum will be developed for youth workers, enabling them to acquire the necessary skills in well-being, stress management, and youth emotional intelligence.
