Focus | Mental health

Mental health is the basis of a functioning society. For a long time, this topic was taboo. That is changing, but there is still a need for action so that all people can cope with everyday life, be economically productive and participate in social life.

Our partner topics, Gesundheitsförderung Schweiz, Beisheim Stiftung and Hans und Marianne Schwyn-Stiftung, are committed to the health of people. They raise awareness of the topic and, with their diverse activities, help ensure that people who need help and advice receive it.
