The study was commissioned by the meeting place Kiesi. Kiesi is a low-threshold meeting place for working-aged people in Kaarina. The aim of the thesis was to study the effect of the activities on the well - being and mental health of the visitors. The importance of community and inclusion in the meeting place was also explored. The knowledge base was well-being, mental health, community, inclusion, and exclusion. The study was qualitative and was conducted as individual interviews at a meeting place in Kiesi in January 2022. Participation in the interviews was voluntary.
