Non-urgent advice: Loneliness Awareness Week
This Loneliness Awareness Week (13-17th June) as part of the Better Health: Every Mind Matters campaign, the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport is encouraging people to ‘Lift Someone Out of Loneliness’ by taking simple action to help someone who may be feeling lonely. If we do this regularly, we can all help to lift each other up.
#LonelinessAwarenessWeek
Feeling lonely is something that all of us can experience at any point in our lives, which can have negative impacts on our health and wellbeing. There are lots of simple actions that you can do to help others who may be feeling lonely this #LonelinessAwarenessWeek, including:
Giving a friend or family member a call 📞
Inviting someone for a walk 👟
Reaching out to those you haven’t heard from for a cuppa ☕
You might find that reaching out to someone else could help you to feel less lonely too.
