Are you looking for a community that understands you? Join the Kammari 24/7 online community
Kammari 24/7 is a peer support online community on Discord. The community is aimed specifically at people over the age of 25 who have withdrawn from social life and have experienced loneliness for a long time.
Kammari offers space for informal discussions and relaxation, as well as guided weekly activities. We are building Kammari into an online community with a safe atmosphere. The aim is for participants to find the help and enjoyment that they are looking for in Kammari.
Kammari is run by our trained volunteers and active members of the community. You are also welcome to pitch in and help come up with ideas for activities.

Are you looking for different perspectives on social challenges? Listen to podcast episodes on the topic
If you would like to explore the causes of social withdrawal in more depth, have a listen to our podcast. The podcast helps you understand what social withdrawal is all about. For those who are socially withdrawn or struggle with social situations, it can offer self-understanding, insights and tips that may provide relief from the challenges of social life.
Listen to the podcast (in Finnish).
Insights for everyday life from the Sohvalive discussion events
You can also gain insights and discover new perspectives on everyday life from our discussion events.
See, for example, our Sohvalive discussion event Listening from behind the door – views on social withdrawal (in Finnish). In this Sohvalive event, we hear about the experiences of socially withdrawn people and discuss the kind of support that can be helpful to them, among other things.

Support for the wellbeing of an isolated mind
Are you looking for practical support? Sometimes it can be easier to connect with nature than with people. Doing so is worth it, as nature is good for the mind. Did you know that you can also experience the positive effects of nature from the comfort of your own home? The Luontoyhteys voimavarana (‘Connection with nature as a resource’) podcast can help you do just that.
This podcast provides guidance on how nature benefits your wellbeing. You can listen to the episodes at home or while taking a walk along a nature trail, guided by nature therapist Tiina Pulska.
