Protecting young people's mental health

- Since the reopening of Nightline's 9 listening platforms in early September, more than 10,250 calls and chats have already been received by our volunteers between September and November 2025 on 85 listening evenings (an average of 120 calls per evening, or more than 1 call every 3 minutes).

- A 10th listening center will open in Marseille in early 2026. Our first volunteer listeners in Marseille were trained on November 29-30 and December 6-7, and a next session will take place on the weekends of January 10-11 and January 17-18.

- Our latest campaign "Bonsoir Nightline" reached more than 64.5 million people: 26.1 million users via our online content, and 38.4 million people via our physical content delivered on campuses and local venues.

The Nightline listening lines have reopened!
After the summer, the volunteer listeners hired last year have completed their mini-refresher course and are all ready to take calls from students in psychological distress. New volunteer listeners are currently being recruited and trained, to bolster the local teams in place at Nightline's regional branches.
The 2025-2026 class of Volunteers in Civic Service has been recruited and trained, and the VSCs are all set to hit campuses and other youth/student social venues to promote and destigmatize mental health!

Dear difteurs,

ASDO Études and Nightline publish the first external evaluation of the peer-to-peer nighttime listening service:2 callers agreed to answer a series of interviews conducted by the firm!

The evaluation was based on 22 semi-directive interviews, conducted remotely, between April and December 2024, by telephone or visio by sociologists from Asdo études. ☎️

The interviews were conducted using a comprehensive approach, located as close as possible to the callers' lived experience. The aim was tofoster a dialogue where callers felt fully listened to and understood, and to create a space for free expression, where callers could share their experiences without fear of judgment or misunderstanding. ✨

Analysis of the interviews enabled us to draw out elements concerning the biographical backgrounds of the students interviewed, their motivations for calling Nightline, their satisfaction factors, as well as the effects felt after using the helpline.

Dear difters,

In France, there are nearly 400,000 international students, many of whom are English speakers.

These students face unique challenges that local students may not experience, such as loneliness, isolation, homesickness or difficulties with integration. Being able to talk to a fellow student in English about how they’re feeling is therefore an essential service for many of them, which Nightline France provides via its English-speaking listening line.

Dear difers,
As World Mental Health Day approaches, Nightline is launching a new awareness campaign for de la Fresque de la Santé Mentale®. This is an educational tool developed over more than a year, with the support of the Sisley d'Ornano Foundation, and in partnership with Psycom for the design.
We are delighted to count on the support of Michel Cymès and content creator Clément Gauthier, new ambassadors for the association, who are mobilizing to promote this tool to the general public.
A big thank you to you for your invaluable support and your difts! 

The Nightline teams are proud to share our association's 2023-2024 annual activity report. It is available online here: https://www.calameo.com/read/006649101e5ebae57ad59
