Self-Help Action Week, Scheduled for 2025
In the Lippe district, mental health self-help groups are seeing a significant surge in interest, with more than 40% of inquiries received by the Self-Help Contact Point relating to these groups. This trend is particularly noticeable among young adults facing psychological challenges, according to Silke Stegelmann, who works at the Self-Help Contact Point.
Self-help groups are viewed as safe spaces where individuals can share their concerns and troubles. These groups are highly recommended by professionals as a way for people with mental health issues to support each other, given the long waiting times for therapy appointments.
The Self-Help Contact Point for the Lippe district provides anonymous information about self-help options in the region. For inquiries about the Self-Help Action Week 2025, you can contact Daniela Lang at 05231 977 201.
The Self-Help Action Week aims to make self-help visible in the region. This year's event will take place in Detmold, led by the Self-help-Kontaktstelle Kreis Lippe. Activities are scheduled around mid-September 2025, particularly on September 16 for the nationwide Action Week Self-Help, with local event details coordinated by the contact office in Detmold.
The national Self-Help Action Week runs from May 16 to 25, 2025, organised by the Paritätische Gesamtverband. During this week, self-help groups will come together to provide mutual support and encouragement for people dealing with issues like cancer, depression, or primary caregiving.
It's important to note that self-help benefits not only the directly affected individuals but also their families and social networks. By participating in self-help groups, individuals can gain a better understanding of their conditions, learn coping strategies, and develop a support system.
