We provide communication training for children and young people who cannot grow up in their biological family. The target group of the project are young people aged 15-25 who are in or have left foster care. Young people who often lack the help and support of adults to cope with mental health problems. These young people are less aware of their rights and don’t know where and to whom they should turn for help.

The objective of the project is to empower these young people: to provide them with opportunities to experience and find appropriate ways and tools to maintain and consistently support their own mental wellbeing, including coping with childhood trauma. We believe that in doing so, we’re supporting both young people and the children who will be born to them in the future.

Young people have the opportunity to participate in communication training two or three times a year, with 15-20 participants at a time. Over the next three years, 50-80 young people will participate in the basic training and up to 100 in the follow-up group.

Feedback from a 21-year-old young person who participated in the training: “I think that the most important thing in communication is to feel that you’re understood. The quality of my life is my responsibility, no one else’s.”
