Book headspace

headspace Outreach is our health promoting outreach initiative where we meet young people where they spend their daily lives – in schools, youth clubs, and other community spaces. The goal is to strengthen young people’s mental wellbeing and support them before challenges grow too big.

headspace Outreach is for all young people within our target group and aims to promote mental health. Our efforts are based on a research-based approach, where we provide young people with knowledge, perspectives, and practical tools through workshops and health education to help maintain their wellbeing. At the same time, we work to foster a culture where discussing mental challenges and seeking support is natural.

headspace Outreach was launched in 2024 as a further development of our efforts to increase awareness of headspace. The initiative was driven by two key needs:
· More young people should have the courage and opportunity to seek help if they are struggling.
· Young people should receive knowledge and support to handle everyday challenges, enabling them to navigate life’s pressures, demands, and expectations more effectively.

With support from the Danish Health Authority, we have developed a structured and targeted method for our outreach work, ensuring it can be evaluated and improved over time.

Our vision
We dream of a world where no young person feels alone in their struggles.

headspace Outreach aims to be a nationwide initiative, reaching at least 5,000 young people annually through workshops and presentations. Our next step is to share our knowledge and methods with the many dedicated individuals who interact with young people daily.

Parents, teachers, social workers, and other key figures play a crucial role in young people’s well-being. We want to share the experience and expertise we have gained over 10 years and more than 90,000 conversations with young people as inspiration for how to best support them on their terms.

How do we support young people?
In our workshops, we create a space for dialogue and reflection on the issues that impact young people’s wellbeing. We facilitate conversations about the societal norms that can
influence both wellbeing and distress. Additionally, we discuss actions that can promote mental health for each individual.

Our workshops are built on three core elements:
· Knowledge: we provide young people with insights into what affects their mental wellbeing and how they can take care of themselves and others.
· Attitude: we challenge stigma and unhealthy beliefs around mental health to make it easier for young people to talk about their challenges and seek help.
· Action: we inspire young people to take proactive steps toward wellbeing and ensure they leave the workshop with a belief that they can actively influence their own and their peers’ mental health.

Example of our work
One of our first national workshops, Be Mindful of the Pressure, has already shown promising results:
· 92% of participants gained a better understanding of what creates stress and pressure in their daily lives.
· 94% reported feeling inspired to engage more in activities that give them energy when feeling stress or pressure.
· 81% felt the workshop helped them believe they can take action to reduce stress and pressure.

headspace Outreach is a proactive initiative that reaches young people before they actively seek help. Many young people need support but may not feel their challenges are “serious enough” to contact a counselling centre. Others may not have the energy or courage to take the first step on their own.

By bringing knowledge and support directly to young people in their own environments, we lower the barriers to seeking help while also strengthening their ability to care for themselves and their peers.

headspace Outreach is for all young people, whether they are experiencing challenges or simply want to enhance their wellbeing.

We also recognise that parents and professionals play a key role in young people’s lives. Therefore, we offer presentations and workshops that provide them with knowledge and tools to support young people in distress.

In 2025, we plan to:
· Develop new workshops that address the challenges young people face in their daily lives.
· Create workshops specifically for parents, teachers, social workers, and others who work with young people.
· Develop a national Outreach training program so more volunteers can be trained to facilitate workshops.

headspace offers presentations and workshops about children, young people, and mental distress.

At headspace, we meet children and young people every day who need someone to talk to. Our youth counselors have great insight into what happens in a young person’s life, what can contribute to mental distress among many children and young people, and, most importantly, how we as adults can help initiate the dialogue together with them.

If you are a teacher, educator, parent, or simply curious about the well-being and mental health promotion of children and young people, you can book your local headspace center for a presentation or workshop.
