Barcamp Seelische Gesundheit stärken

In the organizer's words:

Mental health concerns us all - but often people only talk about those affected, not with them.

Let's change that!

Let's talk about what we can do to ensure that mental health in Cologne is not a luxury , but part of everyday life .

How can we create spaces for open discussions, new approaches and shared learning?

How does the Barcamp work?

A barcamp is not a classic conference format - it thrives on participation!

There are no fixed presentations or speakers.

Instead, participants bring their own questions, topics, ideas or experiences.

We shape the day together, decide spontaneously which sessions to offer and what we want to explore in depth.

Whether you want to offer a session yourself or simply join in the discussion - both are welcome!

Who are we expecting?

People who are professionally or personally involved in mental health or who want to advocate for the topic:

• Those affected and relatives
• Professionals from counseling, therapy, social work or medicine
• Employees, employers, HR managers and executives
• People involved in initiatives, self-help, politics or administration
• Interested people from Cologne

Why should you be there?

Because mental health concerns us all - and because we can achieve more together.

We create an open space for genuine encounters, honest exchanges and new perspectives.

The aim is to develop practical ideas, network existing knowledge and jointly promote ideas for a mentally healthy Cologne.
