BOOST is an EU-funded project which, through the development of an innovative approach, aims to promote mental health and well-being in young people in school. Not ensuring mental well-being can place a significant burden on the individual and society. Therefore, it is essential to promote prevention interventions that create resilience with long-lasting effects.
The project, launched in January 2018, has a duration of 4 years and is financed by the HORIZON 2020 programme (under Grant Agreement No: 755175).
