Social get-together in Wels: Self-help groups strengthen the community

In the city of Wels, 40 self-help groups have been set up, which work in collaboration with professional advice and support institutions in the social and health sectors. This initiative aims to support people facing various challenges and provide them with a platform for exchange. The support groups are a valuable resource for the community as they give those affected the opportunity to support each other and share experiences.

The existence of these groups is an important starting point, especially for people who find themselves in difficult life situations. They not only offer emotional support, but also practical advice and strategies for dealing with the respective situations. The network is based on the idea that people can often find the best solutions through shared experiences.

Cooperation offers

The self-help groups cooperate closely with various institutions to cover a wide range of topics. These include mental health, addiction prevention, chronic illnesses and much more. This collaboration ensures that members always have access to expert advice when needed. The combination of self-help and professional support creates an effective system that benefits the people of Wels.

Another advantage of these groups is the promotion of social cohesion. Participants meet regularly, which not only facilitates the exchange of experiences, but also reduces the feeling of isolation that many feel during difficult times. In Wels city and country it is particularly important to form community structures that can bring people together and help with a variety of challenges.
