When the corona crisis broke out, MIND set up a virtual living room together with the Out of the Box TV Foundation. Every afternoon there is a livestream, where experts and experienced professionals share their stories and experiences. Viewers can also participate in a conversation by calling in and talking about what concerns them and how they are coping with this crisis as best as possible. This morning we had a very special guest in our online living room: Queen Máxima! She (video) called to ask the experienced professionals in the studio, Ferdy and Linda, how they are doing in this hectic period. Ferdy replied that things are going well and that he is mainly busy connecting young people with each other via the MIND Young Studio on Instagram. The Queen showed herself to be very understanding and sympathizes with everyone who experiences mental health issues. She indicated that she understands very well that people are now experiencing more fear and uncertainty, partly due to the loss of fixed daily patterns, treatments and social networks. Linda agreed and said that she also hears from professionals that a fixed rhythm is very important. In addition, the Queen indicated that she thinks this MIND living room is a great initiative to meet each other virtually in these times of physical distancing and she hopes that the livestream will reach many people.
