Self-help contact point offers "Digital Breakfast" on 8 August

In a self-help group, people meet who suffer from a similar problem, illness or disability. The self-help contact point of the Waldeck-Frankenberg district supports the groups in the district in their work. "Self-help is an important pillar of the German health system," emphasises Heike Eschler, who coordinates the contact point. Moreover, self-help effectively complements the professional work of doctors and therapists.

The services offered by the self-help contact point based in Korbach include monthly consultation days in Bad Wildungen and Battenberg, workshops, self-help walks and self-help cafés. Now the offer is to be expanded to include another subject area: a "digital self-help breakfast". Over a hot drink and a pastry, fruit or muesli in front of the computer screen at home, participants can casually exchange ideas with self-help activists, people interested in self-help and the staff of the self-help contact point.

The first "Digital Self-Help Breakfast" will take place on 8 August from 10 to 11 am, using the "Big Blue Button" platform. If you are interested, please contact the self-help centre by e-mail at shk@lkwafkb.de; you will be sent the link to dial in for the self-help breakfast. Further questions about the event on 8 August or about self-help in general will also be gladly answered at the above-mentioned e-mail address or by calling 05631 954-888.
