Where?

This project is location independent.

JugendNotmail gGmbH

Young people often have no contact person for their problems and fears. They are often ashamed of their feelings, afraid of not being understood or rejected. So they keep their worries to themselves, which can become increasingly burdensome over time. On the website www.jugendnotmail.de children and young people have the opportunity to entrust their worries to a professional team of advisors - confidentially, free of charge and where they prefer to be, on the Internet. Around 150 volunteer psychologists and social education workers provide advice on topics such as depression, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, abuse, mobbing or eating disorders. Whether individual counselling, topic chat or forum - JugendNotmail has the right counselling offer for every need.
