According to an October 2023 study, 1 out of 4 adults is dealing with loneliness and/or isolation. Loneliness can have serious health implications, with social isolation being linked to an increased risk of several chronic diseases, such as diabetes and dementia, as well as mental health disorders, including anxiety and depression. It can also affect one financially in terms of lost income.
Leaders in non-profits, as well as for-profit organizations, need to understand how to relate to someone who is caught in the spiral of despair, paranoia, and suspicion.
Today, I had the chance to interview Matt Peacock, the executive director of Partners in Hope (PIH). PIH is an independent, collaborative ministry focused on eliminating social isolation in Central Texas. They connect neighbors in need with ongoing community support through unique partnerships with local churches, other nonprofits, and servant-hearted volunteers. Through the development of long-term relationships with our isolated neighbors, we connect them with a network of people in the community who can provide the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual help they need.
