aims
The purpose of the foundation is the promotion of public health and health care, as well as the promotion of science and research in the entire field of mental illnesses / psychosomatic disorders . The foundation is active in promoting and operating by implementing this purpose through its own activities and providing funds for other non-profit , public-law corporations and private sponsors.
The aim of the Eckhard Busch Foundation is to help those affected and their relatives with the help of counseling and support programs of various kinds. She would like to contribute significantly and sustainably to destigmatization through information and education. In addition, by promoting research and science, it would like to achieve new knowledge that should ultimately help to alleviate the suffering of those affected and their relatives.
Projects
The Eckhard Busch Foundation organizes and promotes projects that are primarily intended to help remove taboos from mental illnesses. Among other things, the Eckhard Busch Foundation is co-organizer of the Cologne Bonn Week for Mental Health . This offers a wide variety of events for the public on the subject of soul, prevention and mental health. To this end, the Eckhard Busch Foundation supports the event from the start with its own contributions. In addition, since 2012, the foundation has been organizing the film series “Kino Shows Seele” on topics related to mental illnesses together with the film art cinema Film Palette Köln and the Kino Gesellschaft Köln. Since 2012, the Eckhard Busch Foundation has published the “Pictures for the Soul” wall calendar every year, which presents works of art from the foundation's Art brut collection. The discussion series "On the couch with ..." in the theater in the building tower in cooperation with the Eckhard Busch Foundation addresses the taboo around mental illness. Two to three times a year, well-known and less well-known people are invited to talk about their personal, professional or unusual relation to psychiatry. Last but not least, the Eckhard Busch Foundation supports the "Simply sing" project in which patients, relatives, alumni and team members are invited once a week to sing together under the guidance of professional singers. "Simply sing" is now offered at many different psychiatric clinics in the Rhineland. The project is intended to provide a complementary and playful balance to therapeutic offers in the narrower sense. At the beginning of 2019, the Eckhard Busch Foundation, together with the Mental Health Action Alliance in Berlin and other initiatives, launched the green ribbon in Germany. The green ribbon serves as a symbol of solidarity for people with mental illnesses and is intended to counteract the stigmatization of these illnesses.
