Skopje has announced the implementation of a new initiative providing free psychologist support for secondary school students. Mayor Orce Gjorgjievski officially disclosed the project on July 6, 2026, detailing the program’s scope and necessity for the local youth population. The new service is specifically designed to cater to students aged 15 to 19 within the Skopje educational community.
In his announcement, Mayor Gjorgjievski emphasized the growing importance of mental wellness among adolescents. He noted that today’s young people frequently face significant emotional pressures and challenges that require specialized attention. The primary objective of establishing this accessible service is to create a safe and confidential environment where students can receive professional guidance.
Gjorgjievski stated that while the need for comprehensive care is broad, the immediate requirement is often simply a listening ear and a recognized space where individuals feel understood. This provision of free support aims to dismantle potential barriers to mental healthcare, ensuring that financial constraints do not prevent students from accessing crucial psychological resources. By integrating psychologist services directly into the educational support network, the city aims to proactively address mental health challenges before they escalate.
The initiative underscores a commitment from city leadership to bolster the overall well-being of its secondary school students. The program represents a structured effort to provide early intervention and consistent emotional support, thereby empowering students as they navigate the complexities of late adolescence and early adulthood.
