Ethias Solidarity

Building meaningful solidarity projects together

At least once a year, Ethias organises a call for projects designed to provide one-off support for meaningful initiatives on a specific topic.

The topic is either linked to one of Ethias’ four philanthropic fields of action — Solidarity, Environment, Health or Culture — or to a combination of two or more of these fields.

A call for projects to support the mental health of adolescents aged 12 to 18

These days, the mental well-being of teenagers is under pressure from all sides: stress, sleep, social isolation, digital habits... All these factors feed off one another and affect how they live, learn and build relationships. Secondary schools and psycho-medico-social centres are on the front line when it comes to taking preventive action and improving their well-being.

With this mental health campaign, Ethias Solidarity wants to support projects that go beyond raising awareness and move into action: helping adolescents adopt healthier habits, cope better with stress, deepen their relationships and find the right support when they need it.

😴 Sleep
🧠 Stress
🤝 Social relationships
📱 Digital habits
Concrete projects with a lasting impact

Practical workshops, initiatives co-designed with teenagers, new school-wide practices, tools for families, quiet spaces, training, collaborations with specialists... All formats are welcome.

What we are looking for above all are positive, concrete and sustainable solutions that empower teenagers to take their well-being in their own hands.

Who can apply?

The call for projects is open to:

  • secondary schools
  • pupil/student guidance centres
  • partnerships involving one or more schools, pupil/student guidance centres or specialist organisations (a non-profit organisation, youth support service, prevention body ...).
