Health Promotion Switzerland supports projects aimed at strengthening preventive offerings in the field of health care. As part of this year's funding round, the foundation, in collaboration with the Federal Office of Public Health, has selected thirteen promising projects from across Switzerland for support. Eleven of them are designed to prevent mental illness.

Eleven of the thirteen new projects supported by Health Promotion Switzerland are designed to prevent mental illness. Of these, five projects focus specifically on improving support for people who are at risk of suicide or have already survived a suicide attempt. Four of the projects are the result of a specific call for proposals on suicide prevention launched by the Federal Office of Public Health (FOPH) and Health Promotion Switzerland. The focus here was on the continuity of care and treatment when patients leave hospital or clinic, as there is a gap in support services and a great need here.
Health Promotion Switzerland supports various projects in the field of health care that address the topics of non-communicable diseases, addiction and mental health. These aim, for example, to improve interfaces in healthcare or to support cooperation, interprofessionality and multiprofessionality.
"Effective preventive measures must be integrated into the care system and, for example, into networks for coordinated care. Our goal is to drive the development of corresponding projects," says Jvo Schneider, Head of Prevention in Health Care and member of the Executive Board of Health Promotion Switzerland.
