Addiction Working Group of the Saarlouis District participates in Alcohol Action Week 2026
Under the nationwide motto "Discover how much more is inside you – with less or no alcohol at all," the Addiction Working Group of the Saarlouis district is participating in Alcohol Awareness Week. On June 15th, 16th, and 17th, 2026, events and meeting opportunities will take place to raise awareness of the dangers of alcohol consumption. Registration is requested.
Loneliness and addiction often form a dangerous vicious circle. Feelings of isolation and lack of social connection frequently drive people to substance use to numb emptiness or pain. At the same time, addiction inevitably leads to even greater social isolation and loneliness. Therefore, the Addiction Working Group aims to bring people into conversation with each other through this year's meeting offers and to enable open exchange.
On Monday, June 15, 2026, a game night will take place from 6:00 PM at YOU – the youth office (Holtzendorffer Straße 2, 66740 Saarlouis). In a relaxed atmosphere, participants can look forward to a convivial evening with various games and opportunities to connect.
Registration until June 12, 2026, by email at fachstelle-sucht@kreis-saarlouis.de or by phone at 06831/444-953999.
A hike will start on Tuesday, June 16, 2026, at 4:00 PM at the Wildparkgehege Saarwellingen parking lot (Lebacher Straße 93, 66793 Saarwellingen).

Participants are asked to bring their own provisions, suitable clothing and footwear, as well as sun protection.
