Why This Matters

💡 Social connection is a fundamental human need. Research has consistently shown that isolation and loneliness are as detrimental to health as smoking 15 cigarettes a day. They are linked to higher risks of dementia, heart disease, and depression.

But there’s good news.
With the right interventions, older adults can rebuild connections, rediscover purpose, and experience improved health outcomes. This webinar will highlight the most effective ways to make a difference—whether you are a healthcare provider, social worker, community leader, or family member.

Who Should Attend?

This webinar is ideal for:
✔ Healthcare professionals (nurses, social workers, therapists, case managers)
✔ Caregivers and family members supporting older adults
✔ Community organizations focused on aging and well-being
✔ Academics and students in gerontology, public health, or social work
✔ Anyone passionate about addressing loneliness in older adults

Let’s Work Together to Build Stronger Connections
