Loneliness

Loneliness is a feeling that everyone is probably familiar with. It is often just a brief moment that passes, but sometimes it lasts longer and becomes a real burden. Loneliness can then not only affect your well-being, but also lead to health problems. This focus on loneliness will be expanded in the near future. You can currently find offers and initiatives in NRW here that can help you to feel less alone. You can also find information and help on the topic of "Loneliness in children and young people" here. In North Rhine-Westphalia, there are many offers that can help to overcome loneliness. These range from state government initiatives to local projects and contact points that specifically try to bring people together again and alleviate loneliness. Be it through joint activities, counseling services or anonymous platforms where those affected can exchange ideas - there are many ways to reconnect. Loneliness can occur at any stage of life and affect anyone - young or old. Many children and young people also experience moments of loneliness, for example triggered by a change of school, the loss of friendships or family circumstances. It is important that parents and caregivers recognize signs early on. Read the article below to find out how you can read the signs and help your child with loneliness.
