Savremena Gimnazija organised two workshops in two Year-1 classes in May dedicated to the importance of adolescent mental healthcare. Students of I-5 and I-6 classes had the opportunity to participate in the workshops held by two students of psychology at the University of Belgrade Faculty of Philosophy, Teodora Dančević and Vladana Radenović, and Maša Mirilović, a volunteer in the Mind the Mind campaign. The campaign was organised by the European Social Impact Initiative Team working under the auspices of the European Federation of Psychology Students (EFPSA).

The students had the opportunity to debunk the myths about mental disorders and illnesses and learn what stigma means. In addition, they learned how they can help themselves and others: by asking people how they are, by asking close people for help – parents, family members, friends, and in school, their homeroom teacher, school psychologist and counsellor. We are grateful to our students for their active participation in the workshop, and to visiting students for their unwavering commitment to important topics.
