Mental health challenges often begin during childhood and adolescence. Yet many young people do not know how to recognize warning signs, where to find help, or how to support friends who may be experiencing a crisis.

Through our school workshops, we create a safe space for education, open discussion, and prevention. We talk openly about mental health, provide information about available support services, and empower young people to look after themselves and others.

“Before the workshop, I wouldn’t have known who to turn to if I or a friend was struggling. Now I know where support is available. Every school should offer workshops like this.”
– Lukas, 15 years old

Why Our Workshops
Matter

Mental health conditions are among the most common health challenges during adolescence. At the same time, uncertainty, stigma, and a lack of reliable information—or even misinformation—often prevent young people from seeking support at an early stage.

Our goal is to raise €400,000 to support the following activities:

  • Provide age-appropriate knowledge about mental health
  • Reduce prejudice and stigma
  • Recognize warning signs early
  • Raise awareness of available support services
  • Foster empathy and mutual support
  • Encourage students to seek help and support others

Every workshop can help young people feel understood, access support earlier, and avoid facing mental health challenges alone.
