Listen Later

ABOUT THE EPISODE:  In the second part of our conversation with Elina Marjamäki we talk about stress management and emotion regulation for young people, adults and about Mental Health Skills for youth workers. 

We also explored the usefulness of a resource-oriented approach and the importance of appreciation. 

At the end of the episode we talked about Hope and the importance of meaningful interactions, and we closed our conversation by pointing to the materials, resources created by MIELI. 

I really hope that with these two episodes we sparked your interest in their work.
