Mary is basically encouraging young people to reach out to those among them, they believe are lonesome or feel isolated. A simple "How are you?" makes a difference.
There is however one issue in regards to the feeling of isolation and loneliness that the Mary Foundation has not yet addressed:
Get off your backside!
If you want company and friends you need to do an effort. No one is going to kick your door in and drag you away to do something with other people.
And you don't get friends by sitting in a corner, saying nothing.
- That's a problem we had with a close relative of mine. He moved to an elder center to find company. But ended up being alone a lot, because he was passive.
It's a tricky issue. I don't know how Mary could address that in a tactful manner.
Today CP Mary welcomed Troels Boldt Rømer as a new board member of Mary Fonden.

Another unofficial event which is not written in the calendar either.
Yesterday a meeting with young people in the Mary Foundation:
”Yesterday, in the Mary Foundation, we had a visit from our youth panel to talk about the well-being of young people during the corona. And not least about ideas and recommendations for solutions.
It was an inspiring and intense conversation about how corona and the restrictions that have come with it have had a huge impact on young people's lives. I was particularly touched by the young people's consideration and compassion for some of the groups who are having the most difficulty and who feel most lonely at this time. And I was very uplifted by their many ideas for what we can do - both to fight loneliness and create well-being among young people in the time to come.

Video shared today of the get together
Lovely video and important to hear our young people speak their own words how it is to be young in this corona time.
Can all you not understand Danish put English text on on Facebook?
