The German multiplier event of YoungCare was held on the 25th of May at the “Family and Health Day” (“Familien- und Gesundheitstag”) in Rüsselsheim. On a rainy Sunday, a lot of visitors found their way to the health fair organised by the self-help office of the Paritätische Projekte and the GPR Clinic in Rüsselsheim.
A self-help mile offered interested parties the opportunity to get to know the work of different self-help groups at stands and engage in dialogue. The whole event was rounded off by specialist but also very practical presentations, such as ADHD in old age, the exhibition of a two-metre knee joint, and a teddy clinic for the youngest guests.
Next to the stand of the self-help office, the YoungCare project had its own exhibition stand, including the opportunity to try out the platform and view poster presentations showing the YoungCare platform and recommendations for policy-makers and professionals. A broad public audience joining the fair, as well as professionals representing their work at other exhibition stands, got general information about the YoungCare project and were invited to use the platform. In particular, professionals who deal with care, illnesses such as dementia, or pastoral care were welcomed to advertise the project results in their professional environments too.
