    Millions of people in Germany are affected by loneliness. The German Government’s strategy to counter loneliness addresses the issue in Germany for the first time in a comprehensive manner and with a wide range of measures.

The aim of the strategy is to strengthen social connection and shed more light on loneliness in order to prevent and alleviate loneliness in all age groups. The strategy to counter loneliness is implemented under the lead of the Federal Ministry for Education, Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth (BMBFSFJ).
