Non-profit organization dedicated to :

• Developing and scientifically validating programs to promote children’s resilience and mental health in vulnerable communities.
• Raising awareness about adverse childhood experiences and their health and intergenerational risks.

• Generation alpha kids are true digital beings in an increasingly stressful world, which is a risk factor for their emotional and social development.
• Uncertainty, stress, anxiety and depression are now on an unprecedented scale in children and adolescents, with alarming trends in mental health. Generation alpha kids are unprecedently exposed to increased screen time, social networks and eco-anxiety. In addition, they are impacted by their families’ and educators’ stress, caused by socioeconomic and environmental challenges such as social inequalities, systemic racism, war, gun violence, discrimination, or a global pandemic.
• Currently, around one in four adolescents meet the criteria for having a serious mental illness. Data shows that adolescents meeting this criteria increased by more than 20 % in the last five years.
• A large number of generation alpha children are also exposed to negative childhood experiences, such as maltreatment, abuse and neglect, which are widespread throughout the world. Statistics reveal that one in seven children is subjected to more than four adverse childhood experiences, which are associated with significant long-term physical, mental and behavioral risks.

Currently, around one in four adolescents meet the criteria for having a serious mental illness. Data shows that adolescents meeting this criteria increased by more than 20 % in the last five years. When they will all be born, there will be almost 2 billion of them, the largest generation in the history of the world.

Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) are potentially traumatic events that occur during childhood or adolescence. ACEs include experiencing violence, abuse, or neglect, witnessing violence in the home or community, growing up in a household with substance use problems, mental health problems or instability due to parental separation or incarceration. Other adversities are sufering bullying, cyberviolence, natural disasters, all forms of violence and discrimination. Research reveals that one out of seven people report having suffered 4 or more ACEs. Researchers identified a link between ACE exposure and a higher likelihood of negative health and behavioral outcomes later in life, such as suicide, depression, drug abuse, heart disease, diabetes and premature death. Some of the strongest associated effects of multiple ACEs (e.g. violent behavior and addiction) increase the risk of ACEs across generations through intergenerational transmission of maltreatment and neglect.
