One in six people is lonely. In this episode, we unpack loneliness as a profound form of social pain, one that can affect our bodies as much as our minds.

Alana Officer highlights why social connection is crucial to our wellbeing, and the practical solutions that can help prevent people from being pushed into exclusion, distress, or declining mental health.
