Sustainable Support and Collaborative Structures to Promote Health Equity and Freedom from Violence among Young People in Jämtland County, Sweden

The project aims to develop sustainable support and collaboration structures to prevent violence and promote young people’s health in Jämtland County, Sweden. By mapping support resources across the county’s eight municipalities, facilitating dialogue and knowledge exchange between local and regional stakeholders, and establishing a shared digital platform, the project seeks to strengthen collaboration and access to support.

It will also explore young people’s and teachers’ experiences and needs regarding education on sexuality, consent and relationships (SSR), to inform knowledge-enhancing initiatives and strengthen schools’ health-promoting and violence-prevention efforts. Young people’s participation will be ensured through initiatives such as youth ambassadors and collaboration with students and schools.
