The VET Well-being project responds to the growing mental health challenges faced by students in vocational education, where stress, anxiety and limited support systems particularly affect vulnerable groups such as migrant women. Recognising these barriers, the project aims to strengthen inclusion and improve learning outcomes by equipping VET educators with practical tools to support emotional well-being. Through the development of a digital Well-being Toolbox – integrating methods such as art therapy, music therapy, movement exercises and relaxation techniques – the project provides accessible strategies for creating supportive learning environments.

By engaging VET professionals across Sweden, Romania and Italy, the initiative promotes collaborative development, pilot testing and refinement of inclusive approaches that address both educational and psychosocial needs. Expected outcomes include enhanced educator capacity, improved student retention, and stronger integration of migrant women in VET through better guidance, reduced stress and increased confidence. Ultimately, VET Well-being contributes to more equitable vocational education systems and supports the long-term inclusion and employability of learners who face multiple barriers.

This inclusive digital platform ensures long-term, open access to all Toolbox resources, training modules and support materials. It includes video tutorials, interactive exercises, downloadable guides and a space for educators to exchange experiences. Designed as a central hub for well-being in VET, the platform enhances accessibility, scalability and sustainability, enabling institutions across Europe to integrate mental health support into vocational education more effectively.
