Webinar: Loneliness and Mental Health
Friday 20th May 12:30 - 13:30 hosted on Zoom
This years theme for Mental Health Awareness Week (9th - 15th May) is Loneliness. Every year millions of people in the UK and around the world are affected by loneliness, and the pandemic exacerbated this. Loneliness is a key driver of mental ill health and can also effect our physical health in more ways than many probably realise. Social connection is not a luxury or a good to have, it is a basic human biological need.
