Prevention network against loneliness
Formal services and informal initiatives are networked through moderated meetings. The services and initiatives are surveyed and networked and digitalised via a platform. In the in-person meetings, participants think together about how people who are affected by or at risk of loneliness can be supported. In future, the information on the digital platform will be accessible to citizens via an app. The app is free to use.
What it sets out to do
The aim is to better network people and organisations in the region, make existing services and meeting points better known, and make the prevention network digitally accessible.
Who it reaches
The Obersteiermark Ost (Eastern Upper Styria) region, comprising the four towns of Eisenerz, Kapfenberg, Leoben and Trofaiach
Who runs it
During setup, the prevention network is being run by an NGO (Styria vitalis) and the Diocese of Graz-Seckau.
What seems to make it work
Implementation is only just starting, so no success factors can be named yet.
What gets in the way
Since implementation is only just starting, the obstacles cannot yet be identified either.
How it is funded
Currently, the setup is financed through public funding.
