The government of Tartu, Estonia, has announced a financial support initiative by granting €3,000 to the non-profit organization Peaasjad. This funding will be utilized to set up mental health first aid cafes across the city. These cafes are designed to provide a supportive environment for individuals to discuss mental health issues and learn about the available resources for mental health support.
In addition to establishing these cafes, the funding will also facilitate the training of 15 residents from Tartu, empowering them to offer mental health first aid within their communities. By equipping local individuals with the necessary skills to address mental health crises, the initiative aims to foster a more supportive and understanding community regarding mental health challenges.
