CC 32: The Loneliness Epidemic

It’s no surprise that loneliness is one of the leading health issues today. In fact, recently, the surgeon general declared loneliness as a public health epidemic, citing that disconnection fundamentally affects our mental, physical, and societal health. We live in a world that is over-connected digitally, yet grossly disconnected relationally. Every aspect of our lives is “seen” or tracked, yet we struggle to know who to turn to for comfort when we are sad, hurt, or just need a hug. So if you find yourself feeling lonely, I want to ask you these questions.
