The non-governmental organization Youth Power organized an online conference on the topic “Mental Health in the Time of the Pandemic” on September 25, 2020. The conference was organized as part of the project ACT – Artist Create Together.
During the conference, which was attended by many young people from across Bosnia and Herzegovina, we addressed issues related to mental health such as depression, anxiety, and others that young people face during the pandemic, isolation, and various restrictions. Speakers at the conference included Pavle Jevđić, Sabina Hebib, Antonija Lelas, and Salko Sakoč
Participants had the opportunity to ask questions to the speakers and share their opinions and experiences during the interactive discussion. We also presented some basic tips and guidelines on how to cope with various psychological issues in limited circumstances such as a pandemic.
Please follow our pages regularly as we plan additional activities on this topic soon as part of the follow-up projects from the conference. We would like to thank all our participants who contributed with their ideas and suggestions.
