”Now, there’s an alternative to ending your life”

There is a large disconnect within psychiatric care today that often focuses on medicating patients with a revolving door approach. The human warmth, care, wellbeing and rest is harder to find than a penguin in Greenland.

The result is that psychiatric emergency care is sometimes a more scary option for a person in real desperation – than death it self.

We have opened 63 places to escape it all in locations around Sweden. These places are called ”Självmod” (self courage, as supposed to ”självmord” that means ”suicide” in Swedish). A true alternative where you can choose life during the final deadly desperation where you can’t find alternative solutions.

Call us, say ”Självmod” and a self driving car picks you up from wherever you are and takes you to get some true caring help and keep you alive, says Tomas Leijon, head of self courage at Stiftelsen Självmod (the Self-Courage Foundation).
