DESIGN NAME: Next Stop Against Suicide
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Social Graphic
INSPIRATION: Next Stop against Suicide is an illustrative / inclusive campaign design concept. The timetable flyer and the timetable poster are intended as "opponents";/ "quiet advertising" for public transports. It should be not noticeable if someone who needs help looks longer at the supposed timetable in the subway. Help phones and websites can be noted in the respective countries.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Thoughts of suicide can affect anyone, at any time in life. In these difficult times, isolation and social pressures are increasing problems. On the other hand, Depressions are still a taboo and a stigma. Those affected often remain silent until the thoughts start to cycle and in the worst case, the can turn into a suicidal chain reaction. Suicide and depressions are a taboo topic.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: Prevention campaign in the public transport is intended to enable affected to inquire about help without being noticed. The large poster in the waiting area and in public places is intended to break the taboo of depressions and invite to discuss – everyone knows one of these.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project idea startet in Germany, but it can be an international prevention.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The big poster is full of details, full of little things and interactions, like the little triggers and phases of a suicidal process. Triggers they want to be found and they everybody knows. The timetables and flyers have different starting points / crises in life, so that everyone has to ask themselves if they don't know someone who is affected. Those affected feel more understood and the inconspicuous design means that they are less reluctant to seek help.
CHALLENGE: The hardest part war the taboo of the suicide topic.
