Title: Loneliness is now an Epidemic
Topic: Loneliness

Discussed by Dan Hart
with Family Research Council (www.FRC.org)

A new Cigna study reveals “loneliness” is at epidemic levels in America. Surprisingly, Generation Z (adults ages 18-22) is the loneliest generation and many are in worse health than older generations.

Dan Hart is the Managing Editor for Publications with the Family Research Council. Listen as Dan reveals more information about this Cigna study.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

What impact does loneliness have on a person’s overall health?

Do most people who commit suicide experience loneliness?

Only around half of Americans (53%) have meaningful, in-person social interactions on a daily basis. Do we all need to be connected to someone (a friend, family member, or co-worker) every day? Can friendship really affect our health?

What can WE do if we suspect a family member or an acquaintance is lonely?

What if YOU are lonely? What can YOU do to become friendlier and less lonely?
