It is a very often underestimated theme, which affects a growing number of adolescents and young adults. Through the events in the calendar we intend to promote widespread awareness of the importance of mental well-being, combat the negative stigma associated with psychological and psychiatric disorders, and encourage and increase interventions to promote mental health”.
