Young people in Eastern Europe face risks to their health and well-being due to factors such as violence, poverty, inequality and other adverse experiences, recently exacerbated by the conflict in Ukraine. The Universitat Jaume I of Castelló, together with seven other institutions, is participating in a Horizon Europe project to implement mental health prevention actions for young people aged 10-14 and their carers.

The aim of the FLOURISH project is to adapt, optimise, implement and evaluate a prevention programme for young people and carers in places where there is currently no widespread prevention provision, such as Moldova and North Macedonia. The programme will be adapted to the service delivery and health environment of the two countries and will also include refugees from Ukraine.

Programmes that focus on the adolescent caregiver relationship are an evidence-based solution for improving adolescent health by addressing a number of common risk factors at both the individual and family levels. Parenting for Lifelong Health (PLH) is one such programme, developed by researchers from different disciplines and countries, the World Health Organization and UNICEF for implementation in low-resource settings.

Prevention activities focus on two main areas: strengthening adolescents' skills, such as problem-solving and emotional regulation; and improving parents' skills so that they can recognise and avoid risk situations in young people, such as alcohol consumption or smoking.

Maite Alguacil Marí and Bojan Shimbov, coordinator and researcher respectively of the CAMINA group (Global Value Chains, Migrations, Innovation and Adaptation to Climate Change) and members of the Inter-University Institute of International Economics, will be in charge of the project at the Universitat Jaume I. The tasks they will carry out will focus on the economic part of the project, specifically on carrying out an in-depth analysis related to the evaluation of the costs and profitability of the programme and its possible expansion and integration into national health systems.

FLOURISH is coordinated by the University of Klagenfurt (Austria) with the participation of the University of Cardiff (UK); Asociatia Obsteasca Sanatate Pentru Tineri (Moldova); Institut Za Bilakj Semejstvo I Sistemaska Praksa-ALTERNATIVA (North Macedonia); Medizinische Universität Wien (Austria); Association of Systemic Therapists (Serbia); Universitaet Bremen (Germany) and Universitat Jaume I of Castelló (Spain).

The project is funded by the European Union's Horizon Europe research and innovation programme under grant number 101095528. Website: <https://www.flourish-study.org/>.
