Come and be here' when Trivselsfabrik invites young people aged 12-15 living in Holbæk municipality to the 1-day My FRIENDS Youth Life Skills course — and get ready for the upcoming school year
*Everyone has something they find difficult or challenging. This is completely normal — and there is actually something you and those around you can do to adjust the framework and/or make it easier to be in and move on. *
*This one-day course is for all young people — because we all experience emotions from time to time (including those that can be difficult to handle), thoughts (even those that run in circles or drag us down), and situations or situations we find overwhelming or don't quite know how to approach. *
*We may also experience a sense of not belonging, or that everyday life does not fit our way of being in the world. *
*And sometimes we notice that others are not thriving or stressed, but are unsure of what we can do to help ourselves. *
**MY FRIENDS YOUTH, WHENEVER YOU WANT: **
- Find calm in everyday life and when it all boils or there is pressure on
- Understand your feelings and those of others and get some tips on how you can help take care of yourself and others — even when you disagree
- Find helpful thoughts and/or to put into words what hurts or is difficult so that you can be supported to be in or change it - and move on
- Getting started with homework, assignments and exam preparation
- Find out who you can lean on or offer your support when life is difficult or you need to learn something new or complicated
- Exchange ideas on healthy life habits, leisure, coziness and how to make your voice felt.
*Through conversation and practical exercises, you and the other young people will be guided by Gry and some helpers in using a range of tools you can use in everyday life — to find peace, get started on tasks, know who you can go to when you need a little help and how you can be there for others. *
*They can also be used to put into words what adjustments/agreements will be helpful for you and others to better participate in everyday life. *
*Everything takes place in a safe space, and you decide for yourself what you want to share. *
*Finally reach out if you need to know a little more about where we're going to be and opportunities for companionship. *
*Attention: We also offer a free presentation to parents so that they can gain insight into the life skills you have been presented with. Just as we offer a one-day parenting course for a fee - here parents get the opportunity to go a little deeper. *
COMMON TO WELL-BEING
The Well-Being Factory helps kindergartens, schools, educational venues, businesses, associations, and other communities create increased well-being, resilience, and healthy life habits for children, adolescents, and adults. We use FRIENDS Resilience© — a well-documented holistic program bluestamped by WHO, which we have adapted to Danish conditions.
We are official partners with FRIENDS Resilience in Australia.
**Together, we can strengthen mental well-being where people come together—through open dialogue and resilience. **
**What are we doing? ** We make research knowledge about well-being, community and resilience easy to understand and use in practice. Because we believe that we learn best together and come the furthest when we support each other in applying what we learn in everyday life.
That is why we offer courses and certification to teachers, educators and other professionals so that they can work concretely with well-being in their communities. In this way, they share a common language about well-being and resilience with the children, adolescents and adults they share everyday life with.
Just as we offer the program as a common language and foundation for anchoring team building and personal development.
**Why do we do this? ** Because we believe prevention is paramount — and because we can all be a resource for each other when we share this common language and foundation, both in everyday life and when things get tough.
When everyday challenges grow large and lead to distrust, stress, anxiety or loneliness, strong communities and personal resilience make a huge difference. It benefits both people and the economy.
