Digital mental health – 17.12.2025, 13:00-14:30 (ZOOM)
Understanding the impact of digitalisation on youth mental health requires more than awareness — it calls for critical reflection and responsible action.
This webinar will explore how digital tools, including AI, are reshaping the way young people access mental health support. It will feature practical examples from the MEET project and beyond — highlighting both the promises and the pitfalls of digital mental health solutions.
Experts and practitioners will share insights, tools, and real-life experiences that help educators, youth workers, and policymakers navigate the ethical, technical, and emotional dimensions of supporting youth online. Participants will leave with practical knowledge and strategies to use digital tools more safely and
effectively — ensuring that mental health support for young people remains inclusive, ethical, and grounded in their lived realities.
