Did you know loneliness is becoming commonly described as the ‘new pandemic of the older generation’? The impacts of social isolation on a person’s mental, emotional and overall wellbeing can be vast. It can literally be life-changing to help a lonely elderly parent or loved one – or yourself – get out of the grips of feeling alone. To do this, we’ve brought you this episode.
In this LiveWell podcast, we talk to integratedliving social worker, Amelia Luke, about ways to recognise and manage loneliness, especially in times that can intensify the feelings.
Find out what you can do to help yourself or an elderly loved one to move from loneliness to connection and closeness.
