The Youth Council of Torrevieja has initiated the Vive-T Personal Development Programme aimed at supporting young individuals. This new initiative, in collaboration with the Youth Department of the Alicante Provincial Council, will provide a series of workshops dedicated to essential topics such as emotional education, mental health, and the development of healthy lifestyles.

With increasing awareness of mental health issues among teenagers, including rising rates of anxiety, eating disorders, and depression, the programme is designed to address these challenges directly. The workshops aim to equip students with the tools they need to identify and manage risks associated with their mental well-being.

Throughout the upcoming academic year of twenty twenty-four to twenty twenty-five, each workshop will last one and a half hours and cater to groups of thirty to sixty students. The themes include self-care, embracing individuality, self-acceptance, and navigating interpersonal frustrations. The objective is to create a safe space where young people can express themselves and find practical strategies for leading healthier lives.

Participating institutions include IES Mare Nostrum, IES Mediterráneo, and IES Torrevigía. Due to the positive feedback from students and educators, the Youth Council is considering extending similar programmes in the next school year.
