«Wellbeing Codes in Youth Work»
A Practical Handbook for Youth Workers
This Handbook is the result of the an international training course within «Treat Yourself III project», which took place in Trnava, Slovakia, from 30 September to 7 October 2025.
During the course, participants developed their own Holistic Well-Being Codes – personalized self-care plans to maintain balance in their personal and professional lives. Together, they also began co-creating the Wellbeing Codes in Youth Work Toolkit, compiling practical tools and best practices to support other youth workers across Europe.
This Handbook on Holistic Well-Being in Youth Work features exercises, methods, and reflections co-created by the participants. The handbook is a practical resource for youth workers who wish to strengthen their well-being, prevent burnout, and integrate mindfulness into their professional lives.
