Resilient stories

Through personal, resilient stories from well-known and unknown Dutch people, we will open eyes to mental poverty and make this a topic of discussion within schools and organizations. We are doing this in the form of a collection of stories and an accompanying exhibition of hand-painted, expressive artworks. Via a QR code next to each portrait, you can listen to the personal interview or read the story in the collection.

Errand

The stories have diverse perspectives, different problems, impact on various areas of life, and diverse solutions and backgrounds. Each story has “a message” for society and the individual: how they uniquely shape their lives despite a traumatic event. In addition to sharing ideals and ambitions through the stories, we also inspire with a number of recipes for a “mentally healthy” life.

Reach

In one year, with the help of at least 50 partners, we will inspire 1 million people to lead a mentally healthier and more positive life. "The Mental Health Art Tour" will travel to at least 100 organizations, schools, and public spaces.
