About this live event
This interactive webinar is designed for practitioners who are seeking to deepen their understanding of the complex and pervasive issues of loneliness and social isolation. In this session, we will explore the psychological, emotional, and social dimensions of these experiences, examining both the individual and collective factors that contribute to the widespread nature of loneliness.
Through a combination of theory, research, and practical tools, participants will gain insight into the distinction between loneliness and simply being alone, and how these concepts impact mental health. We will dive into the root causes of loneliness, including societal factors such as oppression, systemic inequities, and cultural shifts that fuel disconnection and the powerful role that shame plays in perpetuating loneliness and social isolation.
The session will provide evidence-based best practices for supporting clients in their healing journey, with a focus on both individual interventions and broader systemic change. Participants will learn strategies for addressing the emotional and psychological aspects of loneliness while also exploring how to transform the systems and societal structures that perpetuate isolation. Through interaction and reflective exercises, this webinar will equip practitioners with the knowledge and tools to foster connection, support healing, and advocate for transformative change in the systems that contribute to social isolation.
