Manual
This manual is a practical guide that you can use yourself, with colleagues and in your work with young
people.
It is a collection of approaches that help you understand stress, reduce its impact, and strengthen wellbeing in simple everyday practices.
This manual is designed as a practical, supportive guide that you can use for yourself, with colleagues in your organisation, and in your work with young people.
It brings together the key learning from the Self Care for YOU(th) project into a collection of approaches that help you understand stress, reduce its impact, and strengthen wellbeing in simple everyday routines and practices.
You don’t need to use this manual “perfectly” or in the “right order.”
Think of it as:
• a self-help resource for your own stress management and a tool to improve your wellbeing
• a toolkit for educators and youth workers to use in sessions, workshops, and classes
• and a collection of tested practices you can return to whenever you need a reset or a fresh idea.
This handbook is designed as a tested, practical manual for youth workers, educators, and (in adapted form) young people.
It offers a collection of methods and practices to address stress-related challenges and promote wellbeing on a daily basis.
A key promise of the project is that the methods in this handbook are not only theoretical: they were tested and evaluated during local phases to check that they are:
• realistic in everyday settings
• adaptable to diverse groups (especially youth from different backgrounds)
• and safe and easy to facilitate.
