discussing matters that they had previously kept to themselves
psychosoziales Befinden
Eight respondents reported having discussed matters that they had previously kept to themselves. For some of the participants, the online groups functioned as a forum for disclosure and testing one's ideas among a peer group – often in relation to the themes of loneliness or mental health: You rarely talk anywhere about these types of issues.
Beschreibung der Aktivität
Moderated anonymous online groups (MAOG)
The aim of the intervention – moderated anonymous online groups (MAOG) – was to promote the wellbeing of participants by providing a lowthreshold and secure space to discuss matters of importance to them, to be positively recognized, and to alleviate feelings of loneliness. The rationale behind MAOG lies in the fact that the wellbeing of many clients of targeted youth work is hampered by loneliness, a history of being excluded, and anxiety toward offline group activities (for details, seeKivijärvi et al., 2019; Gretschel & Myllyniemi, 2017). Despite this, the service provision of targeted youth work in Finland includes mostly one-to-one offline counselling in the context of education and employment (for details, see Aaltonen & Kivijärvi, 2018).
