Frequently asked questions

What is Mores' support service?

As a support service, Mores provides a safety net for anyone working or studying in the sector who is dealing with transgressive behaviour and cannot or does not want to approach a confidential counselor within their own organization.

What role does a confidential counselor fulfill?

The counselor lends an ear and discusses the options for finding a solution. If desired, the counselor can support you in the chosen course of action. The counselor stands by your side, but you remain in control.

Who can turn to a confidential counselor from Mores?

Anyone working in the cultural, creative, or media sector—whether as an employee, freelancer, or volunteer—can turn to Mores. This also applies to students in arts education programs and interns. The confidential counselors are there for anyone who has experienced transgressive behavior. They also provide support or advice to those who have witnessed such behavior, are accused of it, or, as managers or organizations, are unsure how to respond to a report. A confidential counselor will never assist both sides of the same case. Additionally, the confidential counselors do not share confidential information with Mores staff or the board.

What is transgressive behaviour?

Transgressive behavior includes, as a baseline, sexual harassment, discrimination, bullying, and aggression or violence, including verbal or emotional intimidation. Whether you experience something as transgressive is subjective. Even if you are unsure whether something falls under transgressive behavior, you can discuss it with a confidential counselor.

What issues cannot be discussed with a confidential counselor?

The confidential counselor will refer you to another professional if necessary, for example, if there are issues in your private life or a labour dispute. If you need psychological support, coaching, or legal assistance, the confidential counselor will also provide a referral. However, they can continue to support you in addressing transgressive behaviour in the workplace.

If you transgressive behaviour outside the workplace or from, for instance, people in your audience, the confidential counselor can offer a listening ear but will also refer you to the appropriate resources. Journalists, in such cases, can turn to PersVeilig.

How much does it cost to get in touch?

There are no costs associated with the support provided to individuals who reach out to a confidential counselor.
