Self-help groups have been established in many towns during the pandemic. They enable affected people and their families to talk to each other about their experiences.

The groups discuss many different topics such as long COVID, dealing with acute cases, loneliness, worries, anxiety and other psychological troubles caused by the pandemic.

NAKOS (the national self-help groups’ support organization) provides an up-to-date overview of COVID-19 self-help groups in Germany.

If you’re looking for support specifically for young people, the website for youth self-help is a good place to go.
