The Probitas Foundation and Salut Mental Catalunya promote the online course  "Fundamentals of emotional well-being", a key module and starting point of the programme "Capacitat per al benestar emocional d'adolescents i joves", aimed at family members and professionals not specialized in mental health who accompany adolescents and young people in vulnerable situations. 

The objective of this course is to offer a solid knowledge on emotional well-being and community mental health, to promote well-being, prevent emotional distress and favor an early detection of risk situations from the closest environment.

The course, with a teaching load of 10 hours, is carried out in an online format and self-managed through the Probitas Campus, and is structured in four training units: 

• Emotional well-being and mental health
• Isolation
• Situations of tension and conflict 
• Self-harm

Through these units, the basic concepts of community mental health, emotional well-being, psychosocial determinants and the intersectional perspective in the adolescent and adolescent stage are introduced. The training also includes practical resources applicable to everyday life, as well as pedagogical materials to work on the content with adolescents and young people.

The course "Fundamentals of emotional well-being" is Module 1 of the new training itinerary of the “Capacita't” programme and is an essential requirement to access Module 2 – Emotional support and collaborative practice, aimed at deepening emotional support, professional self-care and collaborative work through online sessions in small groups. 

This new structure of the programme makes it possible to connect basic knowledge with real practice, guaranteeing progressive training that strengthens the skills of the people who accompany adolescents and young people, and promotes safer, more conscious and coordinated care environments with the community network.

The training allows you to recognize the most frequent emotional discomforts, understand the meaning and effects they cause, and develop skills for accompaniment in complex situations, including the application of first aid in mental health. It also promotes emotional self-management of care environments, strengthens the relationship with the community support network and favours coordination between agents, encouraging critical reflection, collaborative work and the shared construction of good practices. Module 2 incorporates first-person testimonies, participatory dynamics and practical strategies to promote emotional accompaniment from the immediate environment and conscious professional care.

Since its launch in 2019, the Capacita't programme has developed 29 training actions, with a total of 312 participants (family professionals), reaching 86.5% satisfaction and 90% achievement of objectives.
