Young Europeans face significant stressors, including FOMO from social media, high rates of bullying (affecting over 20% of students), and anxiety around schoolwork, which surpasses the global average. Additionally, body dissatisfaction poses a major risk to mental health, as highlighted by a 2019 UNICEF report. The EMERGE Youth Project tackles these challenges by empowering youth with effective stress management skills to foster resilience and personal growth.

A survey of 383 young people across six European countries revealed that most experience moderate to high stress levels, with only 4% reporting very low stress. Key stressors include financial issues, job-related concerns, and academic pressures. Stress impacts participants through increased anxiety (22%), difficulty sleeping (16%), and trouble concentrating (15%). Notably, 77% expressed interest in attending free stress management workshops. The EMERGE Youth project addresses these needs by providing essential tools to help young Europeans manage stress effectively, empowering them to succeed in their personal and professional lives.
