Arago tries to offer the option to talk about issues in an easy accessible way. Marel Vrerink and Nick Nijssen are the persons whiting Arago we call ‘luisterend oor,’ which literally translates to ‘listening ear.’ Everything you talk about is confidential, but Marel and Nick are in no way professionals in this field; they are just there to listen if you need to share something with someone. They will however know and tell you what to do if you do need help from someone with more expertise.
