Together Against Loneliness in Early Parenthood
The time after birth brings joy, new experiences, and intense changes. At the same time, many young parents experience overwhelm, insecurity, or loneliness. The conference Loneliness as a Risk for Young Parents discusses this sensitive life phase on Monday, November 2, 2026, at Maxhaus Düsseldorf from a scientific and practical perspective.
When Closeness Does Not Automatically Protect Against Loneliness
The focus is on the emotional and social challenges of early parenthood. Expert presentations categorize the term loneliness, present current studies, and illustrate possible consequences for parents and children. The event combines well-founded information with practical support approaches.
Expert Knowledge from Science and Practice
The program brings together various perspectives. Piroska Zsindely addresses loneliness in early parenthood and the current state of research. Prof. Dr. Esther Schäfermeier from Düsseldorf University highlights the perspective of fathers. Nihan Salgar and Silvia Blume-Bernhardt provide insights into the work of the Mother Hood e. V. helpline for difficult births.
Support Networks for Families
Another focus is on Early Help in Düsseldorf. Mareike Maschwitz from the Department for Social Affairs and Youth presents existing support networks. Additionally, family advisor Jürgen Grah talks about relationships and co-regulation. This creates an event experience that combines expert categorization, concrete impulses, and exchange among different actors.
Exchange, Networking, and Fishbowl Discussion
After the expert contributions, the fishbowl discussion opens the floor for questions and different viewpoints. The central question is what young parents need so that support truly connects and relieves them. The audience's mood thrives on professional exchange and encounters with people from practice, science, and family education.
