YGBN Toolkit: Young women going back to nature

This toolkit is specially designed for specialists who work with the young women at risk. Young women in our society may grapple with a range of complex issues, including mental health challenges, peer pressure, body image, and self-esteem concerns, academic stress, relationship challenges, family dynamics, financial insecurity, substance abuse, gender inequality, experiences of violence and abuse, trauma, social exclusion, and more. Addressing these multifaceted challenges through support, education, and accessible mental health resources is vital in promoting the well-being and empowerment of young women in our society, enabling them to navigate life’s complexities and realize their full potential.
