SUMMARY:The Loneliness Epidemic: Strategies to Gentle Our Journey (Virtual Presentation)
DESCRIPTION:In 2023\, the Surgeon General published an Advisory on the Health Effects of Social Connection and Community\, titled “Our Epidemic of Loneliness and Isolation.”  The report notes that millions of Americans lack meaningful social connection\, and that there are a myriad emotional and physical health consequences associated with this loss of connection.  \nLoneliness is associated with a higher risk of anxiety\, depression\, and dementia. It also increases vulnerability to physical health problems\, including a greater susceptibility to viral and respiratory infections\, elevated risks of heart disease and stroke\, and potentially premature death. \nBut what does it mean to feel lonely? Why do we experience loneliness? Why is it such a prominent topic today? 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
