COPE intends to address the negative effects of conflict and COVID-19 crisis on youth’s mental health by the strengthening of key protective factors via digitized peer support through art.
Young participants will be provided with educational tools and opportunities that allow them to feel included and seen, thus, be in the position to improve their mental health through hybrid self-directed skills training with their peers under the guidance of youth professionals.
The activities COPE is implementing are:
