Share a messagee with the lonely
This week we are celebrating Valentine's Day. However, loneliness is significant, especially among young people aged 15-24.
What would you say to encourage a lonely young person?
Loneliness can be espcecially pronounced right now, as social media is flooded with all kinds of Valeentine's Day-related images and posts. We wanted to share encouragement for the lonely on social media, so we launced a campaign with the sole aim of sharing glimpses of hope from young people to young people.
We asked young volunteers what encouraging words they would say to a young person feeling lonely. We received wonderful messages, which we are sharing during Valentine's Week, February 10-14, 2025, on the @sprhupnuoret Instagram account and the @sprhup TikTok account. We hope that as many young people as possible, who experience loneliness or social anxiety, will see these messages. Therefore, we invite everyone to share them in their own stories and posts!
