ASA Webinar: Loneliness & Aging: The Other Epidemic

April 27, 2020, 1pm-2pm, ONLINE VIA ZOOM | In a time of social distancing, staying connected has never been more important. Older adults in particular are at a higher risk of isolation and loneliness, and it has been that way long before COVID-19 disrupted daily life. It is important for professionals and family caregivers to understand the significant implications of isolation and loneliness, which some argue has becoming the “other epidemic.” Research shows that loneliness can have considerable health implications, worse than that of obesity, alcoholism and even smoking 15 cigarettes per day. Join this webinar to learn more about the health impacts of isolation and loneliness, easily identifiable signs that someone might need help and tips for staying connected during this time of social distancing.
