Nordic Headspace Conference – Youth’s Mental Health
The amount of young people struggling with mental health issues is at a record high – what do we as a society do about it? How do we solve this enormous issue? Read more about the conference here (Norwegian).
Nordic Headspace Conference targets professionals and volunteers who work with youth’s mental health in the Nordic and Baltic countries. Politicians, bureaucrats and others who help to influence the framework conditions for this work, are also welcome to participate. See the program below!
About Nordic Headspace Conference:
The times they are a-changin‘ – NORDIC WELFARE MUST ADAPT!
The main focus is to create a shift towards the prevention of mental health challenges, so that young people get help before an issue grows so large that they are unable to handle it themselves. Read more about Ung Arena Headspace here (in Norwegian)

About the workshop: Mental health is a key focus area for politicians in all Nordic countries. Research programs and media presents dire descriptions of the challenges at hand. Do they represent the views of the younger generation or is this a picture painted by those who do not actually understand how the life of youngsters are today. We are gathering young people from the Nordic region to meet, discuss and to propose how the current situation can be improved. The outcome of the workshop will be presented during the Young Voices Session at the Nordic Headspace Conference the following day.
