Once unable to cope with her psychotic son, Thea (69) now advocates for people like him
Thea (69) from Bergschenhoek advocates for housing for individuals with psychiatric conditions, drawing on her experience caring for her son who suffered from psychosis and schizophrenia.

She now supports residents in Rotterdam facing new psychiatric housing developments, emphasizing that these patients are simply people deserving of societal inclusion and proper care.
