Mental Health Festival – DAY OF MENTAL RESPITE
Through an all-day programme filled with varied content, we seek to highlight the importance of mental hygiene and the need for a break from the hectic pace of everyday life and stress, with an emphasis on preventing mental health difficulties, strengthening the social inclusion of people with mental health difficulties, and promoting inclusive volunteering.
Through various activities and content, the project seeks to achieve the following goals:
Raising awareness of mental health – sensitising the public to the importance of mental hygiene and the prevention of mental health difficulties.
Reducing stigmatisation – promoting the social inclusion of people with mental health difficulties.
Improving quality of life – providing opportunities for quality leisure time and the development of new skills.
Promoting healthy lifestyle habits – encouraging physical activity and a healthy way of life.
Developing volunteering – increasing citizen engagement through inclusive volunteering.
Reducing the loneliness of vulnerable and marginalised groups through inclusive community activities for all citizens.
Developing inclusive volunteering is a key element in building a community that accepts and supports all its members, regardless of their differences. This approach to volunteering includes people from all walks of life, especially those who are often marginalised, such as people with mental health difficulties.
The Mental Health Festival "DAYS OF MENTAL RESPITE" is becoming a traditional event in Split that gives citizens of all age groups the chance to connect, relax and learn, while also building a community in which everyone is equally accepted and welcome.
Organiser: Udruga Feniks Split (Feniks Split Association)

Kroz cjelodnevni program ispunjen raznovrsnim sadržajima nastojimo ukazati na važnost mentalne higijene i potrebe za predahom od užurbanog svakodnevnog života i stresa, s naglaskom na prevenciju mentalnih poteškoća, jačanje socijalne uključenosti osoba s mentalnim poteškoćama i promicanje inkluzivnog volontiranja.
Kroz različite aktivnosti i sadržaje, projekt nastoji ostvariti sljedeće ciljeve:
Podizanje svijesti o mentalnom zdravlju – senzibilizacija javnosti o važnosti mentalne higijene i prevenciji mentalnih poteškoća.
Smanjenje stigmatizacije – promocija socijalne inkluzije osoba s mentalnim poteškoćama.
Unapređenje kvalitete života – pružanje mogućnosti za kvalitetno provođenje slobodnog vremena i razvoj novih vještina.
Promocija zdravih životnih navika – poticanje fizičke aktivnosti i zdravog načina života.
Razvoj volonterstva – povećanje angažmana građana kroz inkluzivno volontiranje.
Smanjenje usamljenosti ranjivih i marginaliziranih skupina kroz inkluzivne aktivnosti u zajednici za sve građane.
Razvoj inkluzivnog volontiranja predstavlja ključan element u izgradnji zajednice koja prihvaća i podržava sve svoje članove, bez obzira na njihove razlike. Ovaj pristup volontiranju uključuje osobe iz svih slojeva društva, a posebno one koje su često marginalizirane, poput osoba s mentalnim poteškoćama.
Festival mentalnog zdravlja „DANI MENTALNOG PREDAHA” postaje tradicionalna manifestacija u Splitu koja građanima svih dobnih skupina pruža priliku za povezivanje, opuštanje i edukaciju, a ujedno gradi zajednicu u kojoj su svi ravnopravno prihvaćeni i dobrodošli.
