COVID-19 Action
The state of emergency declared by the Spanish government due to the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in children and adolescents being confined to their homes. Home should be a comfortable, safe space, but this is not always the case. Some children experience domestic violence, and others face illness, grief, fear and anxiety.
The ANAR Foundation decided, due to this difficult context, to expand the the helpline services provided to at-risk Spanish youth. The objective was to offer assistance to all children and adolescents in the country who find themselves confined in dangerous situations. The Artelia Foundation's Emergency Fund enabled ANAR to strengthen their ANAR Chat and ANAR Email helplines so that a maximum number of children could contact the association in complete security and confidentiality during the current state of emergency.
