Loneliness can affect anyone. The health consequences of loneliness can be serious. Anyone who is lonely for a long time can become physically and mentally ill. As part of the Health Region Plus City of Ingolstadt, the Ingolstadt Mental Health Steering Association (SPGI), supported by the Konradviertel district meeting and the Caritas district office in Ingolstadt, would like to draw attention to this.
Lecture at the seniors’ café
On Wednesday, September 13th, Monika Gabler from the Caritas addiction clinic will give a lecture on the topic of “Preventing, recognizing and treating addictions”. The lecture will take place as part of the seniors’ café in the Konradviertel district meeting place from 2:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. Seniors are invited to attend. Admission is free. In light of this year’s prevention focus of the Bavarian State Ministry of Health and Care on the health consequences of loneliness, further lectures and activities are planned in Ingolstadt this autumn in collaboration with various actors. The aim is to create greater awareness of loneliness and its health consequences, to strengthen health literacy and to identify offers of help.
