For Acceptance Against Exclusion: Freiburg Strengthens Mental Health
From October 5 to 21, 2026, the Action Weeks for Mental Health focus on a topic that affects everyone. Under the motto “For Acceptance Against Exclusion – Every Soul Counts,” Freiburg, the Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald district, and Emmendingen invite encounters, information, and open exchange.
Diverse Program Across the Region
The event experience includes lectures, specialized events, films, workshops, exhibitions, readings, open discussion opportunities, and open house days. Different perspectives make visible the variety of mental health and mental illnesses. People with personal psychiatric experience, relatives, professionals, and all interested parties find space for information and dialogue.
Acceptance Instead of Exclusion
A focus is on reducing prejudices and stigmatization. The Action Weeks demonstrate how important listening, understanding, and respectful encounters are for a solidarity-based urban society. At the World Café, visitors can share their wishes and needs for counseling on mental illnesses and develop ideas for Freiburg.
Insights, Exchange, and Support
Several institutions open their doors and provide insights into their work and support services. Visitors engage in conversations with staff and participants, learning about contact points and support options. A professional forum addresses the psychosocial burdens of children and adolescents in Freiburg.
Event Experience Around World Mental Health Day
The Action Weeks take place on the occasion of World Mental Health Day on October 10. The atmosphere among the audience is characterized by openness, attentiveness, and a shared desire to make mental health more visible. The organization by the community psychiatric networks of Freiburg and Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald, along with numerous cooperation partners, combines expertise with low-threshold meeting formats.
