Loneliness Really Is a Public Health Issue

March 29, 2018 by Marie Jobling

Google Community Space and the Global Shapers hosted a thoughtful discussion on loneliness and increasing awareness of how bad it is for your health.   The panelist included:

  • Marie Jobling, Community Living Campaign
  • Anika Kumar, Forget Me Not
  • Richard Caro, Tech Enhanced Life
  • Jane Langridge, Little Brothers: Friends of the Elderly 

Kasley Killam, event organizer (and CLC Board member) facilitated a  solution-focused discussion about loneliness among seniors, raising awareness about this issue and  highlighting  efforts of each organization to address it.  The session closed with suggestions for how the more than 70 people who attended might take steps to contribute. The panel discussion is featured on the CLC Facebook page.  You can learn more about the issue in Kasley’s article in Scientific American.
