Anyone who knows someone going through a difficult time, such as a friend, neighbor, or colleague, is encouraged to take a card. These cards feature short, personal messages designed to open up conversations, like 'Fancy a chat?' or 'You can be yourself with me.' The initiative aims to convey that someone is there and that a listening ear can be an important first step.
The 'Samen Veerkrachtig' cards are part of a broader campaign by Knokke-Heist to raise awareness about mental health and the importance of mutual care. In addition to the cards, residents can also participate in interactive 'Samen Veerkrachtig' hopscotch paths that appear during the same period.
The municipality encourages residents to spread the message of resilience and mutual support further, both through social media and personal contact.
