Understand more about the Psychology of Loneliness and Social isolation
13 June @ 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm BST
Free
Mark Loneliness Awareness Week with the Good Practice Mentors by finding out where and why people are lonely, and how you might start to tackle this loneliness.
Time to Shine in Leeds, and the 13 other Ageing Better partners across England set out to use a range of techniques to reduce social isolation and loneliness in people 50+. Along the way we found out more about how social isolation and chronic loneliness can affect people, and some techniques that worked to reduce loneliness.
If you find it easier to work when you understand how what you are doing is impacting people, then join us to find out when and why people are lonely, and how you might start to help them tackle this loneliness.
Many of the things learned about reducing loneliness apply to more than just older people.
The work was a mixture of academic research and practical activities with real people. You won’t find any quick fixes but this session will offer you some ideas you might be able to use as starting points for your plan.
There will be a chance to talk to others and share ideas during the event
This course is an excellent companion to ‘Addressing barriers to participation via outreach comms’.
