Have you noticed that people don’t hang out in person as much as they used to? Our society is changing. Social isolation has become more of a norm. Loneliness, unsurprisingly, is on the rise, too. So much so that last year, the US Surgeon General declared an “Epidemic of Loneliness.” Statistically, rates of loneliness and isolation are impacting young people more than any other age demographic.
Please consider joining our panel of experts as we dive deeper into the topic of loneliness. Each panelist will share a bit about how their research relates to the topic. We will then have the panelists participate in a robust question-and-answer session! RSVP NOW!
