The new Policy Paper titled "Generation well-being: Empowering Europe’s next generation for a healthier future" highlights the modern challenges and necessary policies to ensure the well-being, mental health, and professional development of the new generation in Greece.

The publication is a summary of the findings and proposals that emerged from a roundtable discussion on the same topic, held with the support of BAT Hellas. Participants included political representatives, academics, health professionals, private sector representatives, and youth organizations. A common ground for all participants was that the well-being of the new generation is not just a specific social policy or another legitimate goal, but a horizontal axis of public policy, essential for social cohesion and economic resilience.
