Homaar

Belgium

Homaar's mission is to provide a safe, welcoming environment where young people facing emotional challenges can explore their identity, autonomy and creativity through short-term guidance. Thanks to the support of many and the use of an effective, innovative approach, they were able to expand rapidly, just as they had dreamed. Today, Homaar has grown into a network of four “Growth Spaces” across Flanders and Brussels. Most recently, they opened a new location in Tienen, in the Leuven region. Homaar reaches vulnerable youth dealing with challenges such as depressive thoughts, anxiety, autism, low self-esteem, isolation or a difficult home situation and are in need of (temporary) support. They risk to or are already withdrawn from school, work and their environment. The largest group is 15- and 16-year-olds: 68% of those who join our program are under 18. 67% are girls, 30% are boys, 3% identify as gender-neutral.
