Loneliness in Young Adults: A Growing Concern

Loneliness is a universal human experience, yet its impact is particularly profound in emerging adulthood—a critical life stage filled with transitions, uncertainties, and the search for belonging. While occasional loneliness is a natural part of life, prolonged loneliness can severely impact mental health, leading to increased risks of depression, anxiety, and social withdrawal.

Recent studies show that young adults face unique challenges in forming and maintaining meaningful connections, and despite growing awareness of loneliness as a public health issue, there is still much to understand about its causes, manifestations, and solutions.

Who Should Attend?

This webinar is designed for researchers, mental health professionals, policymakers, educators, and anyone interested in improving support systems for young adults experiencing loneliness. Whether you work in public policy, psychology, or community engagement, this discussion will provide valuable insights into the emotional and social dimensions of loneliness and how we can work together to foster greater social connection and well-being.

Let’s Tackle Loneliness Together!

Loneliness should not be an invisible struggle. By understanding its complexities, sharing experiences, and working towards meaningful interventions, we can create a society where no one feels disconnected or left behind.
