Episode 36 of the radio show Doing Good was all about the power of listening – so of course, @ease Groningen was there. . Radio DJ Marc van Hal spoke with our team about how a listening ear can really make a difference for young people.
The following people joined us at the table:
- Prof. Dr. Wim Veling, who set up @ease in Groningen
- Location Manager Annemijn Diephuis
- Volunteers Marijn and Hilde, who talked about their experiences as peer listeners
The programme Doing Good is all about being kind to yourself and to others, exactly what @ease is all about too. A great opportunity to share our story and highlight why accessible mental support matters.
