About Youth Health
Young people's health is an important element of the EU Health Strategy 
.
The EU's activities on Youth Health help your country's government, NGOs and other actors take action to improve your and your friends' health. We also want you to get involved in EU health policies. The most important actor in improving your health and making responsible lifestyle choices is you!
The Youth Health Initiative began in 2009 with the "Be healthy-be yourself" conference, organised with the European Youth Forum – a youth-led platform representing 98 national youth councils and international youth organisations from across Europe.
Following the "Be healthy – be yourself" conference, a youth health roadmap 
was drawn up of actions to promote young people's health.
