The COVID-19 pandemic has drastically increased the demand for mental health support among youth in the Eastern Europe and Central Asia region (EECA); however, the availability of youth-friendly mental health services remains limited. The Eurasian Union of Adolescents and Youth Teenergizer (EUAYT) team is youth-led and includes professional psychologists and trained peer-consultants who provide free and confidential counseling on various topics, including sexual and reproductive health and living with HIV to young people from the EECA region through their web platform. This innovation will extend the existing Teenergizer online peer-counseling platform to provide youth-friendly mental health services to youth (15-24 years) in Ukraine, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan.
