What is REDEZEIT FÜR DICH?
SPEAKING TIME FOR YOU #virtualsupporttalks is a platform run by the Fürstenberg Foundation with over 350 volunteer listeners. As trained coaches, therapists and mental health experts, they volunteer their time to listen to you. They are simply there, with all their senses and antennae, listening to your words as attentively as they listen to the silence. Each individually and together as a group, they send out a signal of hope and support every day, in good times and challenging times alike.
In March 2020, four practising coaches from Hamburg founded REDEZEIT FÜR DICH, a non-profit, socially oriented initiative that is free of charge for everyone. The initiative has developed into a leading non-profit organisation, which was taken over by the Fürstenberg Foundation in 2025. The organisation pursues neither economic, political nor religious goals. All listeners at REDEZEIT listen regardless of the topic raised, origin, background, identity, sexuality, religion or political views.

Why is mental health so important for us?
Mental stresses such as separation, grief, burnout or any kind of conflict can, if they last for a long time, cause massive damage to mental health. Not only does the mental stress alone limit the ability to act, but there is also the threat of psychological problems that can even lead to serious complaints with the potential to cause illness.
We are partner of Action Alliance for Mental Health.
The Action Alliance for Mental Health is a nationwide initiative that was launched in 2006. In the meantime, more than 120 member organisations are involved, among them mainly self-help associations of those affected and relatives of people with mental illnesses. Numerous associations from the fields of psychiatry and health promotion are also involved and network for the common cause - the destigmatisation of mental illness.

We work pro bono and do not earn any money with the initiative. However, we are happy to receive donations.
