Dr Michelle Lim will outline current scientific evidence in loneliness research showing it to be a major and increasing health issue, not just a social one. Why in today’s society is it challenging to develop meaningful social connections and what are the implications?
Q & A session to follow.
How can our community raise awareness of this problem?
How can you be involved?
Lane Cove has a partnership with loneliness researchers as part of a national network and has been invited to participate in a Loneliness Pilot study. Michelle will introduce this Study to us and invite our involvement.
