The network connects three youth consultative centers in Podgorica, Montenegro, Brčko, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Tirana, Albania, brought up for the purpose of encouraging peer-to-peer consultative support among youth in local areas and destigmatizing mental health-related topics and services as well as fostering active participation of youth with fewer opportunities in est Balkan digital society. The centers are run by coordinators from the project’s partner organizations, however, the consultants will be youth volunteers, who have gone through an intensive conselling and consultation capacity-building training and will work in the centers for at least a year.
