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.

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.
