Catalonia is implementing various mental health and wellbeing initiatives targeting students, educators, and youth. Educational authorities have expanded programs such as Kokora’t for emotional competence in primary schools and Henka for resilience in secondary students, while the ‘Benestar per estar Bé’ program aims to prevent teacher burnout. Higher education institutions, such as Rovira i Virgili University, have also seen increased engagement with psychological care services.

Complementary efforts include community-based awareness campaigns, such as the ANAR Foundation’s ‘Queda’t una estona’ initiative, which addresses the pressures of hyperconnectivity. In Girona, local authorities are introducing preventive measures for the Sant Narcís Fairs, including dedicated spaces for sexual health and the promotion of non-alcoholic options to encourage healthier consumption habits.
