We are on a mission to end loneliness
Published: 29/12/2021
We had the pleasure to speak at the Mental Health & Wellbeing Show – “Tackling Loneliness this Christmas” webinar on the 9th December 2021.
The Mental Health & Wellbeing Show – a professional all-day show in Cardiff City Hall, 10th May 2022, aiming to promote positive mental health through open conversation, promoting awareness and sharing real-life experiences.
“Research shows that being lonely can have a negative impact on physical and mental health. Loneliness can be as harmful for our health as smoking 15 cigarettes a day, and people with a high degree of loneliness are twice as likely to develop Alzheimer's. Improved community-based loneliness services may help alleviate pressures on the NHS.” - According to Age UK.
The seminar hopes to find ways we can tackle loneliness for ourselves and support other lonely people over Christmas.
Right at Home has always have a strong presence in the local community, whether that’s sponsoring local events or holding information sessions to raise awareness about dementia, we play a key part of keeping our community healthy.
