Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Compeer is a psychosocial intervention that involves matching individuals with mental health challenges with trained volunteers who provide friendship, support, and help participants engage in social activities. It has been shown to be effective in reducing loneliness and social isolation. Psychological first aid and psychoeducation may be helpful for other mental health concerns but do not specifically target loneliness and social isolation. Social rhythms therapy is a type of behavioral therapy designed to improve stability in sleep/wake patterns and other daily routines, but it does not directly address loneliness and social isolation.
