These hubs serve as locally rooted, psychologically safe entry points for youth\u00a0aged 15\u201322\u00a0with lived experiences of school dropout and psychosocial vulnerability,\u00a0to access individual and group-based\u00a0psychosocial\u00a0support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Co-designed with youth and guided by principles of Positive Psychology and trauma-informed care, PHEHDs function as structured, accessible in-school hubs where trained staff and peer educators provide early psychosocial support, referrals to services that may be needed, such as social assistance, psychiatrist, physiotherapist, speech therapist, and a listening space for young people navigating distress or trauma. PHEHDs promote an environment of increased mental health and psychosocial support knowledge, as well as improved socio-emotional competencies and peer-to-peer relationships. The thematic workshops\u2014covering\u00a0a total of 48 sessions across six schools\u00a0(coordinated by the association\u00a0Corps Marocain pour Education et D\u00e9velopment, CMED)\u2014offer participatory learning possibilities for youth, parents, and educators on priority issues such as bullying, overuse of social media, identity development, and emotional regulation, co-created with students to ensure relevance and impact.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"ql-button-block_7a4607bda5437e9ce3c2f921ffa26041\" class=\"acf-block ql-button button-left\"><a class=\"ql-button-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.soleterremaroc.org\" target=\"_self\">Learn more about Soleterre Maroc!<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"template":"","innovation_country":[54],"innovation_project_type":[41],"driver":[67,68],"thematic-area":[71,62],"class_list":{"0":"post-2662","1":"innovation","2":"type-innovation","3":"status-publish","5":"innovation_country-morocco","6":"innovation_project_type-proof-of-concept","7":"driver-bullying","8":"driver-school-environments","9":"thematic-area-peer-based","10":"thematic-area-service-delivery","11":"entry"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.1 (Yoast SEO v27.1.1) -
