🌍 Together for Every Child’s Mental Wellbeing
We are proud to share a publication developed within the project “Mind the Child: Together for Every Child’s Mental Wellbeing”, bringing together the voices of young people and professionals across Bosnia and Herzegovina.
This publication highlights key findings and recommendations for strengthening an integrated Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) system within child protection.
📢 What makes this work especially meaningful:
It brings forward the authentic voices of young people, who clearly tell us: “We want you to hear us, not just fix us.”
It reflects the experiences of professionals who emphasise that systems are often reactive rather than preventive
It offers concrete recommendations for building a coordinated, multisectoral and sustainable system
💬 The message is clear:
Mental health of children and young people is not only an individual issue — it reflects the strength of our systems, relationships, and communities
🤝 This publication is aligned with the principles of the EAITSCYP-Sarajevo Declaration and contributes to ongoing European discussions on:
child and adolescent mental health
integrated MHPSS systems
the importance of accessible, safe, and developmentally appropriate support
✨ Together, we can build systems where every child is seen, heard, and supported.
