What drives you to work on addressing social isolation & loneliness / fostering social connection ?
Working towards a goal of reducing loneliness and isolation and introducing ways for people to connect drives me. I want to help move people in the right direction by sharing the knowledge surrounding the extreme effects that come from loneliness and social isolation, along with sharing how even small interventions foster social connection and make an impact on someone who might be experiencing loneliness.
