In the illustration, profile pictures of various people with descriptions are shown in front of the computer. The different people could, for example, belong to a self-help group or show contact persons from different self-help groups. The illustration is intended to show, among other things, that self-help sometimes comes together via the digital space, but that there are always real people and their stories behind it.

Digitalization

in self-help

When it comes to digitalization in self-help, it is not about replacing personal meetings, but rather supplementing them. For example, communication within the group or organizational tasks.

Recommendations from the self-help office

Meeting Me

Create virtual group meetings yourself

During the Corona crisis, many self-help groups had to learn to exchange ideas using video and telephone conferences because there was no tailor-made digital solution for them.

KISS Stuttgart wants to change this and has developed the “Meeting Me” app, which is tailored to the needs of self-help groups.
