Distress Centre

2016 Annual Report

The services Distress Centre offers go beyond just helping sad people in crisis. They lay the foundation for people to live healthier lives. We realized how many people suffer from struggles in their life, yet no one around then is aware. It’s often something people keep to themselves.
We decided to share true stories from Distress Centre callers through the contents of their bag. Because what we carry with us says a lot about what we’re going through.

Visitors have the opportunity to explore the contents of 3 different bags. Each one showcased items that told the story of what that individual was going through before they reached out to the Distress Centre for support. Users can hover over different items and find out what they mean.

Next, users could find out what happened after Distress Centre became a part of the story. New items were revealed and the meaning of others changed. The contents of each bag showcased another chapter for each of the stories.
