UNIVERSITY CHAIR "Promo Bienestar"

Promoting the Health and Emotional Well-Being of Adolescents and Young Adults

KNOW OUR CHAIR

Youth Wellness: Prevention, Resilience and Mental Health.

The PROMOBIENESTAR University Chair was born as a result of the collaboration between the University of Jaén and the Provincial Council of Jaén, with the aim of creating a common space for the generation of knowledge, training and innovation aimed at promoting health and mental wellbeing in adolescence and youth.

This initiative responds to an urgent need: to prevent emotional problems in the young population, to promote resilience in the face of adversity, and to reduce the stigma that still persists around mental health.

From the PROMOBIENESTAR Chair, we work for a stronger, more aware and better accompanied youth. We invite you to get to know, participate and be part of this commitment to the emotional health of young people.

We are born with Big Objectives

The PROMOBIENESTAR University Chair was created with a firm commitment: to promote transformative actions that improve the emotional well-being of young people from a preventive, inclusive and evidence-based perspective.

Our objectives are broad, but deeply connected to the social and emotional reality of young people. We want to be a bridge between academic knowledge and professional practice, between research and social action, between prevention and hope.

Promoting young people's emotional wellbeing

Promote healthy, resilient and stigma-free environments where adolescents and young people can develop emotionally.

Preventing and detecting emotional difficulties at an early stage

Develop strategies for prevention, early detection and intervention against risk behaviours such as suicide or self-harm.

Training key professionals

To offer specialised training to those working in the educational, health, social and youth fields, improving their capacity for emotional accompaniment.

Promoting mental health research and innovation

Generate and apply scientific knowledge to design effective resources, protocols and public policies.

Transferring knowledge to society

Sharing good practices, advising institutions and organising dissemination actions to generate a real and lasting impact.
