Mentor Arabia shared its pioneering online psychosocial support program ‘R.E.A.D.Y. to Overcome’ at the European Society for Prevention Research’s (EUSPR) pre-conference workshop in September 2021. Early career scientists and practitioners in the field of prevention discussed challenges, opportunities under the theme ‘From threat to opportunity – and back again? Digital prevention following the COVID-19 pandemic’.

Furthermore, Mentor Arabia’s team was invited to present the program and its results at the 15th International tool fair which took place in Porto, Portugal in October 2021. This e-toolkit was explored by participants, as easily adaptable to different contexts to support children in expressing and coping with their emotions following stressful events. Participants from different countries in the European Union such as Austria, Hungary, Cyprus, as well as Turkey showed interest in replicating the program based on their unique contexts.
