Training Kit – Let’s talk about mental health

As part of the Erasmus+ MIND project, a training kit for VET learners has been designed to help them integrate emotional well being into their training and mobility.

The total duration of the structured training activities is 14 hours. However, the total duration of the training may vary depending on how trainers choose to present the theoretical content and discussions.

• Develop and integrate self-care routines and resilience-building strategies into daily life.

Training process

• The training manual is designed to provide trainers with the information and knowledge necessary to prepare for the training.
