SUMMARY:The Loneliness Epidemic: Strategies to Gentle Our Journey (Virtual Presentation)

And most importantly\, how can we address it? \nDue to the success and high demand of the previous in-person session\, this virtual presentation will be held on March 25.  Marcie Gibbons LCSW-C\, from the Anne Arundel County Mental Health Agency\, \, will explore the growing “loneliness epidemic\,” emphasizing its profound impact on mental and physical health. The session will include key recommendations from the Surgeon General and strategies to “gentle our journey\,” fostering connection and resilience in an increasingly isolated world. \nEvent Details: \n\nDate: March 25\nFormat: Virtual (Zoom link will be sent in the registration confirmation email)\nCost: Free for registered attendees\n\nREGISTER HERE
