S2 E3: Loneliness

Loneliness &/or isolation

Loneliness is regarded by many as a silent epidemic – it impacts mental and physical health and one in every four people will face loneliness at some time in their lives.

Producer/presenter Chris Jaeger gives us his personal take on loneliness as he delves into the roles played by friendship, romantic connections, and loss.

Dr Michell Lim, Chair of Ending Loneliness Together, is an expert on the subject. She shares a scientific viewpoint, and in this conversation with Leon Fernandes, explains her mission to elevate awareness, and encourage actions, to address loneliness.
