We appreciated the kind, professional teamwork and work-flow. Our parental and professional experts have been integrated from the very beginning. All our suggestions and wishes have been perfectly realized. It was very pleasant and inspiring to have the nice painters around. We love your paintings and we are happy to see them every day.

A safe(r) place for our agitated and noncompliant patients has been created using the power of psychiatric research of Dr. Sebastian Walther (University Department of Psychiatry) and the know-how of the Anouk Foundation at our Inselspital Emergency Department! Worth noting is that according to evidence green and trees have the most calming effect.

The murals allow us to improve the patient experience through a colourful and secure environment. This reduces their anxiety and allows them to forget about their distress for a while. As a sort of magical thinking, these murals are facilitators of well-being. We have noticed that the paintings encourage interaction and conversations.

The Anouk Foundation artists, with the advice of the medical team, created reassuring and educational frescoes, thus awakening the interest of the residents. The scenes become visual aids to enable patients to understand their environment, undeniably improving their lives. These beautiful paintings (...) contributed to a more comfortable hospitalisation.

The Anouk project reduces anxiety when our patients arrive because there's a better atmosphere in the department. Patients feel valued, find their way more easily, and the images stimulate interaction. For the staff it is also a great improvement!
