Art, Resilience & Therapy for Empowering Mental wellbeing and Inclusive Self-expression
GA number: 101256009
Funded by: Creative Europe Duration: 01/02/2026 – 31/01/2028
Challenge
Mental health challenges among young people have increased significantly across Europe, with anxiety, depression and emotional distress affecting growing numbers of adolescents. The COVID-19 pandemic intensified these issues, while social isolation, educational disruption, excessive digital engagement and family pressures have made it more difficult for many young people to access the support they need.
Although mental health services play an essential role, many adolescents, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds, face barriers to accessing timely and appropriate support. Addressing these challenges requires innovative approaches that complement existing services, promote emotional wellbeing and create safe spaces where young people can express themselves and build resilience.
Innovation
ARTEMIS promotes adolescents’ mental wellbeing by combining artistic expression with therapeutic practice to support emotional resilience and social inclusion. Bringing together artists, cultural organisations, mental health professionals and youth workers, the project develops a collaborative model that uses creative activities to help young people express emotions, strengthen social connections and improve their wellbeing in safe and supportive environments.
