From October 1 to 10, the Municipality of Affligem highlights mental health with the 'Samen Veerkrachtig' campaign, this year themed 'Being well-surrounded'.

The 'Samen Veerkrachtig' campaign emphasizes the importance of mental health and this year brings the message 'Being well-surrounded' to life. Affligem is spreading inspiring quotes throughout the municipality to underscore this.
The core message is that everyone needs someone and can make a difference for someone. Small gestures like a listening ear, a pleasant chat, or going for a walk together can mean a great deal.
Those interested can find information about local walks on the municipality's website. The municipality also encourages residents to share photos of their participation in walks on social media to inspire others.
Anyone who would like to have a quote displayed on their window can contact the municipality via email at gezondegemeente@affligem.be.
