Mental health initiatives launched in Vila-real and Ibiza

Various regional programs in Spain are focusing on emotional well-being and mental health awareness. In Vila-real, the Municipal School of Happiness and Emotional Well-being (EMFEBE) is hosting a session titled “Un café tras la tormenta” on November 7. Led by psychologist Dr. Martín Sánchez Gómez, the free event aims to provide practical tools for managing emotions such as fear, anger, and love, helping participants understand how these feelings influence decision-making and personal relationships.

In Ibiza, the Santa Eulària des Riu City Council has organized a theatrical program at Teatro España for November 13. Directed at adolescents, the initiative uses three monologues performed by the Anna Xantal company to address loneliness, social exclusion, and the pressures of social media. The program includes participatory exercises to help young people recognize emotional distress and encourages them to seek help when necessary. This activity is part of the Municipal Plan for Drugs and Other Behavioral Addictions.
