Discover moreManaging loneliness and feelings of isolation
Loneliness is a strong and unwelcome sense of feeling isolated.
It may be that we’re spending more time than we’d like on our own and want to be in the company of other people. Or, we could be surrounded by others and still feel as though we’re on our own.
Our guide helps you to recognise what loneliness is, how it can feel, why you might be feeling lonely and how it can affect your wellbeing. We provide you with plenty of things you can do to help manage these feelings and improve your social wellbeing.
