Event Details
The Physical, Emotional and Social Costs - There's growing evidence that loneliness, or social isolation, might be as significant a health risk factor as smoking, obesity or childhood trauma. A chronically lonely person is much more likely to suffer negative physical and/or mental health outcomes or early death than a non-lonely one. In this session we'll examine the rising incidence of loneliness, its physical and emotional consequences, and review effective prevention and intervention measures.
