TEJO started a new initiative that aims at warmly calling upon our society to care for and support each other through various projects.

 

Together we created a new name ‘Hou-Vast’ and logo.

 

Furthermore, we started ‘Jongeren Uit de Wind vzw’ with a Core Team from TEJO Antwerp. The core team consists of a group of committed volunteers from the social, legal, psychotherapeutic, economic and design world who want to actively engage themselves to preventively give the personal well-being of young people more positive opportunities.

An innovative and preventive initiative, it offers one supervised overnight stay for young people from TEJO between the ages of 14-20 who are “struggling for a while,” don’t want to go home and need a supervised break. With the help of enthusiastic, reliable counselors, we offer the youth this break. Through this empathetic counseling, stressful events and difficulties will be put ‘Out of the wind’ for a while so that another ‘hopeful’ outlook on the future becomes possible.
