Positive Traces Foundation

The Collaborative Mission

"Established in 2018, it is one of Turkey's leading non-governmental organizations combining clinical therapy with creative expression. Actively operating in 12 different university campuses, the foundation provides a safe harbor for young people dealing with academic stress, social anxiety, and deep-seated regrets. Their methodology includes 'Narrative Art Therapy,' where students visualize their regrets through guided painting, digital media, and sculpture. To date, they have helped thousands of young people lighten their silent burdens."

Core Philosophy

Breaking the social stigma surrounding mental health among youth and transforming the 'burden of the past' into 'wisdom for the future.' We aim to reach 50,000 students by 2027, spreading a culture of radical empathy and creative resilience across campuses.

Accessibility & Entry

All our physical centers are fully compliant with wheelchair and other physical disabilities. Our online platform features screen reader optimization for the visually impaired and live sign language interpretation support for the hearing impaired. Additionally, 'Quiet Room' options are available for neurodivergent individuals.

Journey Details

Travel Note

We are in a historical mansion where the smell of the sea permeates, a 10-minute walk from the Kadikoy pier. Our Besiktas branch is very close to the market center.

Final Signature

We build the future not from the ashes of the past, but from its lessons.
