At the Colonna Charity Gala held in November 2024, a total of EUR 171,592 was raised, enabling the training of 680 mental health specialists. The aim of the joint charitable project of the Colonna Charity Fund and Peaasi.ee (local NGO Head Matters) is to expand the number of professionals with skills in mental health prevention through Räägime Lastest (“Let’s Talk about Children”) practitioner training.

Training has been carried out in cooperation with the Estonian Association of Social Pedagogues and the Estonian School Psychologists’ Association, bringing together participants not only from cities but from all over Estonia.

With the support of the Fund’s donations, by spring 2026 more than 1,000 families will have taken part in Räägime Lastest conversations. Colonna Charity Foundation and our donors are improving the situation where there are not enough mental health specialists in Estonia. With our initiatives the network of skilled professionals with competences to prevent mental health difficulties is expanding.
