Living together in community, living strengthened mentally

How does the way we live affect our well-being? During the Mental Health Week 2026, the housing community in Pauluscarrée in Bielefeld-Mitte addresses this important question. The event combines personal insights into a self-organized housing project with professional impulses and space for exchange.

A housing project close to everyday life

The focus is on the housing community in Pauluscarrée. This self-organized housing project shows how joint planning, living, and resolving conflicts can shape everyday life. It is not about an idealized coexistence, but about concrete experiences, shared responsibility, and the question of what conditions create a health-promoting living environment.

Mental health also arises in community

Communal housing projects connect people with each other. Neighbourly support, regular encounters, and a sense of belonging can enhance personal resilience and counteract loneliness. The event invites participants to consider these potentials as well as the challenges that communal organization and diverse needs bring.

Lecture and conversation in a personal atmosphere

The two-hour event is designed as an informative meeting with a conversational character. Visitors gain insights into the organization of a self-managed housing project and can share their own perspectives on mental health, social connection, and new forms of living. The calm event atmosphere creates space for concentrated listening, questions, and personal conversations.

Part of the Mental Health Week

The event takes place as part of the Bielefeld Mental Health Week from October 9 to 16, 2026. Under the motto In Dialogue Rather Than in the Dark, the action week for mental health addresses issues through lectures, workshops, discussions, and cultural offerings. The events are open to people of all ages and free of charge.

Conclusion

Those interested in communal living, social closeness, and health-promoting living spaces can experience an inspiring event at Pauluscarrée, with concrete insights and valuable food for thought. Take the opportunity to discover new perspectives on living and mental health and engage in conversation onsite.
