France/ “Connect and Feel Less Alone”: Callac Launches the “Santé vous bien” Initiative to Promote Mental Health Among Young People
With the support of various partners, the D2 association in Callac (Côtes-d’Armor) is launching the “Santé vous bien” initiative for young people ages 14 to 30 to help them take care of their mental health.
The Dynamique et Développement (D2) association, in partnership with the department, the youth services department of the Guingamp-Paimpol metropolitan area (GPA), the Bon Sauveur Foundation, La Belle Équipe, and the local youth mission, is organizing events in Callac (Côtes-d’Armor) from Wednesday, June 17, to July 8, 2026, aimed at providing professional guidance to young people aged 14 to 30, teaching them to listen to their emotions so they can feel better.
“Finding a place to unwind, connect with others, and not feel alone—that matters,” explains Maria Guével, a D2 program facilitator. “Today, many young people in the Callac area are simply looking for accessible places to get together and share experiences.”
This local project was designed as a series of activities, with a program combining creative pursuits, moments of sharing, and discussions on topics that directly affect them: self-esteem, relationships, bullying, nutrition…
The goal is to promote well-being while encouraging participation in a simple, supportive, and non-judgmental environment.
