Loneliness
Preventive services to avoid loneliness are of central importance for all age groups, as social isolation can have a significant impact on mental and physical well-being.
State capital Wiesbaden
Loneliness does not only arise in old age, but can occur at different stages of life – for example, during transitions such as starting school, moving to secondary school, retiring, or during personal crises.
An early, low-threshold, and life-stage-oriented approach helps to strengthen social skills, create opportunities for encounters, and build sustainable networks. Preventive measures thus not only promote individual participation and social integration, but also have a long-term stabilizing effect on the community. They make an important contribution to health promotion, equal opportunities, and sustainable social development in all age groups.
Below is an overview of preventive services offered by the Office for Social Work to promote social participation and prevent loneliness.
