The Council has adopted this Resolution on the health and well being of young people and emphasises that:
- there are strong links between the health and well-being of young people and their social inclusion and level of education;
- it is necessary to assist young people in becoming more responsible for their own health and in raising their self-esteem and increasing their autonomy, in particular by raising young people's awareness of the positive effects of a healthy lifestyle and of the risks related to their health.
