It took train guard Ted Boeree two years and a lot of operations to recover socially and mentally after being beaten up heavily during work. In a period where violence in society is a big theme in The Netherlands, Boeree started up an internal service at the Dutch Railways called ‘Guard-rail’, to help colleagues with the same experience. Besides this a special anti-violence-course, called ‘Listen well’ was set up for the trainee train guards and maybe even more important, for schools. The course reached around 20.000 pupils on schools last year. Ted Boeree’s methods and idea’s are getting more and more acknowledgment, both nationally as internationally. He wrote two books and now even an anti-violence song is recorded and a video-clip shot. The text of the song is written by Ted Boeree, a man with a mission.
