Bucharest subway operator Metrorex on Wednesday launched a suicide prevention campaign, reported Romania Insider.

Ironically, the same day subway trains were disrupted for about half an hour because of what Metrorex announced as “a possible suicide attempt.”

“Today’s unfortunate event highlights that only together we can help those around us, that depression is an illness of muted suffering and that a cry for help goes, many times, unheard”, commented Yolanda Crețescu, coordinating psychologist of the campaign.

Metrorex and depreHUB offer one line for grownups and the elderly (0374.456.420) and one for teenagers (0374.461.461). The service is free, available 24/7.
