The Mental Health Education Society Hugr\u00fan\u00a0<\/a>was founded in the spring of 2016 by students in psychology, medicine and nursing at the University of Iceland. To date, the association's focus has been on education for secondary school pupils, as well as open education evenings and presentations for both the general public and parents. In collaboration with the City of Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur, the mental health education society took a new step and extended its education to primary school pupils, who are often more receptive and open to the subject and to discussing mental health openly.\u00a0<\/p>\nThe City of Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur takes its preventative role seriously and, for some time now, has been offering peer education within Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur's primary schools. This approach has been well received by pupils, their parents and school staff. The discussion is often more open and different, and is therefore considered a good addition to the education and encouragement that takes place in other ways.<\/p>\n![\"Conception\"](\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\")
