Living With Loneliness Sylo Magazine

    • Mental Health

Do you feel lonely, or know someone that is? Do your relationships, or communities, make you feel adrift from society? And is the Coronavirus pandemic impacting your way of life?
If so, you’ve come to the right place. It’s time to Sort Your Life Out!
Hi there, I am Doug Drinkwater, journalist and editor of Sylo Magazine, and in this episode, I speak to three experts leading the charge with loneliness. In today’s episode, we explore:

What do we mean by loneliness?

How is it different across different sexes and generations?

How do we address functional and chronic loneliness?

Spotting the signs in children

The importance of community


Tune in to hear all this and so much more from our three speakers:

Amy Perrin, CEO of UK loneliness charity Marmalade Trust.

Louise Goulden, founder of intergenerational social enterprise The Together Project

Manuela Barreto,  Head of Psychology, Professor of Social and Organisational Psychology, University of Exeter
