Aided around 1,000 individuals by Digital Streetworkers by the year 2024 - "Around 1,000 individuals are set to receive assistance from a group known as 'Digital Street Workers' in 2024."
In the heart of Bavaria, a digital initiative named the Digital Streetworkers Project is making strides in addressing a pressing issue - addiction among young people. The project, however, remains relatively unknown outside its immediate circle, with no relevant search results available about its role, achievements, or origins.
The Digital Streetworkers Project is an outreach programme that leverages digital communication tools such as social media and messaging apps to connect with at-risk youth. Its primary goal is to provide counselling, information, and support to reduce harm caused by substance abuse, risky gambling, and disordered eating behaviour.
The project operates from Munich and boasts a network of cooperating associations, including Condrobs e.V., ANAD Versorgungszentrum Essstörungen of AWO Bezirksverband Oberbayern e.V., Drogenhilfe Schwaben gGmbH, mudra e.V., mindzone, and the Bavarian State Office for Addiction Issues.
Despite limited information available, the project has shown promising results. In 2024, more than half of the approached individuals expressed interest in further information or counseling sessions. Last year, the project reported approximately 5,000 contacts in chats and forums.
Minister Gerlach is associated with the project, and it is affiliated with the CSU. The project targets individuals under 23 years old, particularly girls and young women, aiming to reach out to young consumers in Bavaria. Notably, the project is funded by the Free State.
For those seeking more up-to-date or precise information about this project, it is recommended to consult official Bavarian government health or youth services websites or recent reports from local substance abuse prevention organisations.
