Our Work

As a co-initiator of the Cologne-Bonn Mental Health Week (WSG), Gesundheitsregion KölnBonn e.V. has been a dedicated partner in organizing and delivering this impactful initiative since its inception. Held every two years in October, this week of action spans the Cologne-Bonn region and aims to raise public awareness about the importance of mental health through a diverse range of events and programs.

The overarching goal is to foster open dialogue with citizens, providing active information and education to help destigmatize mental illness and support those affected. By offering comprehensive insights into the development, progression, significance, prevention, and treatment of mental health conditions, the initiative seeks to empower individuals and communities alike.

This charitable and socially-focused project receives invaluable support from the Kämpgen Foundation.
