Youth Council of the U.S. Embassy in North Macedonia The Youth Council empowers young people in Macedonia by providing a platform for ideas, projects and more. It also has an advisory role to the US Embassy.
The message that our priority will be mental health was conveyed through a celebration of World Youth Day on August 12 through a casual networking event. The event featured three signature non-alcoholic drinks “Anxiety on the beach”, “Tropical Depression”, and “Brain Drain on Ice” that came with a caster containing facts about these youth concerns. On the event the members connected with youth platform “SpeakOut” that will be bringing forth a social application that connects young people with mental health professionals, and peer support. The members will be collaborating with “SpeakOut” platform in the following year to meet the objectives of the mental health-oriented project. This event was visited by 60 people.
