Over a thousand suicides per year in Flanders, that’s about three per day … 1 in 4 people will sooner or later deal with less or more serious psychological problems.

This is almost the equivalent to the total population of Antwerp and Ghent together … The numbers are hard.

Through testimonies, combined with pictures, we want to make people aware of the need for communication, even within the professional services. Moreover, it is an attempt to make people aware of the opportunities we do to prevent suicide.
