In this presentation, we will hear how loneliness is defined, assessed, and understood from a research perspective, how it matters to health and well-being, and what can be done about it.

We’ll utilize tools, case studies, and our expertise to work together to  deepen abilities to identify and assess loneliness; and learn resources and strategies to combat loneliness in older adults.
