The aim of the project is to develop high-quality and accessible youth-friendly health care services that meet the needs and to encourage young people living in Jonava municipality to choose a healthier lifestyle.
It is planned to develop the Coordination Centre of youth-friendly healthcare services that would satisfy the needs of the municipality and would ensure the privacy of the consultations (at least part time of consultation teenager could spend alone with a specialist) and could offer convenient reception hours to young people (the opportunity to consult in the afternoon, in the evenings and on weekends) in Jonava district. Thanks to the learning and inter-institutional cooperation new skills of young people will be formed and their approaches will be changed by forming a positive approach to a healthier lifestyle. These measures will help to ensure opportunities of the project target group to develop a healthy lifestyle, healthy eating, diet related to disease prevention, mental health, physical activity, injury and accident prevention, addictions prevention, sexuality, hygiene skills and other medical skills.
