MIELI's projects
MIELI rf carries out projects to develop new methods and tools for promoting mental health. Our projects often have external funding from various public or private entitiies.
The global environmental crisis causes harmful mental health and wellbeing effects, especially for young people. The eco-crisis, our future and mental health project (Ympäristö ja tulevaisuus mielessä, 2023-2025) offers support and materials free of charge for addressing challenging thoughts and emotions related to the eco-crisis and our future. The project also provides tools for volunteers, professionals, and parents to support young people in working through these thoughts and emotions.
The three-year project Let's Talk about Children in Europe (2023-2026) aims at dissemination and implementation of the Let's Talk about Children (LTC) model in eight European countries. MIELI is responsible for dissemination and implementation support in Finland. The EU-funded project promotes positive parenting in families in vulnerable situations. Implementation will be supported by raising awareness among decision makers and professionals on the need to support children.
