The Awareness program was designed as a part of the EU-funded Saving and Empowering Young Lives in Europe (SEYLE) intervention study to promote mental health of adolescents in 11 European countries by helping them to develop problem-solving skills and encouraging them to self-recognize the need for help as well as how to help peers in need.
For this descriptive study all coordinators of the SEYLE Awareness program answered an open-ended evaluation questionnaire at the end of the project implementation. Their answers were synthesized and analyzed and are presented here.
The results show that the program cultivated peer understanding and support. Adolescents not only learned about mental health by participating in the Awareness program, but the majority of them also greatly enjoyed the experience.
Recommendations for enhancing the successes of mental health awareness programs are presented. Help and cooperation from schools, teachers, local politicians and other stakeholders will lead to more efficacious future programs.
意识提升计划是欧盟资助的拯救和赋能欧洲青少年（SEYLE）干预研究的一部分，旨在通过帮助青少年发展解决问题的技能，并鼓励他们自我认识到需要帮助以及如何帮助有需要的同龄人，从而促进 11 个欧洲国家青少年的心理健康。
在这项描述性研究中，SEYLE 意识提升计划的所有协调员在项目实施结束时回答了一份开放式评估问卷。他们的回答被综合和分析，并在此呈现。
结果表明，该计划培养了同伴之间的理解和支持。青少年不仅通过参与意识提升计划了解了心理健康知识，而且他们中的大多数人还非常享受这一体验。
提出了增强心理健康意识计划成功的建议。来自学校、教师、当地政治家和其他利益相关者的帮助和合作将导致未来更有效的项目。
