If a family member's use of the Internet becomes a problem, the parents and relatives are also the ones who suffer. Attempts to change things unintentionally result in conflicts that affect relationships. The affected person is often not reasonable, refuses offers of help and withdraws more and more into the virtual world. To help parents in this situation, the research project " Internet-related disorders: Strengthening Parents (ISES!)" was brought into being.
The project started in June 2020 and will end in March 2022. The project is funded by the Ministry of Social Affairs and Integration of Baden-Württemberg within the initiative "Health Location Baden-Württemberg".
