It is the quiet tragedy of millions of everyday lives.&nbsp;<br>So the question is: Why is it important to address this problem at global and local level?&nbsp;<br>This is because mental health not only affects the lives of individuals, it also affects families, communities and ultimately societies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">International picture: what does the data show?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The pandemic has only accelerated the deterioration of young people's mental health.<br>The UNICEF 2021&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.unicef.org\/reports\/state-worlds-children-2021\">report from<\/a>&nbsp;more than 89 million young people worldwide suffer from depression each year, and more than 1.6 billion young people experience negative effects on their mental health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A VG&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.vg.hu\/eletmod\/2024\/08\/remiszto-adat-derult-ki-a-fiatalok-allapotarol#google_vignette\">according to<\/a>&nbsp;45% of 15-24 year olds have a health problem.<br>These figures highlight that attention to young people's mental health is key not only for individual well-being, but also for global development.&nbsp;<br>Anxiety and depression do not discriminate. It can affect families from any economic, cultural or geographical background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The State of Hungary: reality behind the numbers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If the data above were not enough, the Economx&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.economx.hu\/magyar-gazdasag\/pszichologia-psziches-problema-mentalis-betegseg.753875.html?utm_source=chatgpt.com\">details<\/a>&nbsp;found a 52-71% increase in the prevalence of symptoms of mental illness, such as depression, among young people over 12 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The consequences of anxiety and depression include problems such as poor academic performance, breakdown in social relationships or even self-harming behaviour. These young people often do not get the support they need in time, and their situation worsens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The role of the Experience Warehouse: support and community<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>What can we do to ensure that these statistics are not just dry data? How can we turn words into action?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the Experience Warehouse, we regularly organise resilience group sessions to help young people learn to deal with stress, process trauma and build self-confidence. Through these group activities and approaches, we aim to provide effective, personalised support to the young people who come to us.<br>Our mentors personally help young people to identify and work through their problems.&nbsp;<br>A mentor is not just a teacher, a counsellor or a programme coordinator. A mentor is a confidant who provides ongoing support, whether it's learning, emotional problems or career advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Experience House provides a community space where young people can find acceptance, support and understanding. From art sessions to sporting events and debate clubs, we aim to empower young people emotionally and mentally through a range of activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Change is possible: every small step - a piece of supportive feedback, a well-timed conversation, a safe community space - can make a huge difference to young people's lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our purpose and our vocation have become our motto:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>We want to be a beacon that children can always see and turn to for support and help.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the end of the article, we leave you with one question: what can you do to support young people in your area? Because change starts here - with us, with you, with everyone.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fiataljaink ment\u00e1lis eg\u00e9szs\u00e9g\u00e9nek helyzete: kih\u00edv\u00e1sok \u00e9s rem\u00e9nyek Egy dr\u00e1mai, de fontos t\u00e9ny Vil\u00e1gszerte aggaszt\u00f3 m\u00e9rt\u00e9kben n\u0151 a ment\u00e1lis eg\u00e9szs\u00e9ggel k\u00fczd\u0151 fiatalok sz\u00e1ma.A WHO 2022-es&nbsp;jelent\u00e9se&nbsp;szerint a COVID-19 vil\u00e1gj\u00e1rv\u00e1ny els\u0151 \u00e9v\u00e9ben a szorong\u00e1s \u00e9s depresszi\u00f3 el\u0151fordul\u00e1sa 25%-kal emelkedett fiatalok k\u00f6r\u00e9ben.
