Our focus areas and projects
In 2008, The Mary Foundation launched two focus areas concentrating on bullying and well-being and domestic violence, respectively - both of which have been identified after extensive analysis of the social landscape in Denmark.
The Mary Foundation develops our own initiatives to fulfil our objective and does so primarily in the role of catalyst for the broad cooperation between organisations, institutions, experts and other partners.
The majority of our project initiatives are followed closely by research. A large portion of our projects present a unique opportunity to gather research-based knowledge. The purpose is to have our projects evaluated by leading experts, research institutions, and universities in an attempt to continuously improve and strengthen our help to those who are socially isolated in Denmark.

Also, The Mary Foundation’s efforts against both bullying and domestic violence include input from teenagers and young people. A Youth Think Tank has been launched, asking the 12 – 24 year-olds themselves to render insight into their experience with bullying and dating violence. In that way, the ongoing work to prevent social isolation among young people will take offspring in the direct and qualitative feedback from more than 500 Youth Think Tank participants.
