Day 2: Loneliness

Loneliness is an experience that we can all relate to, but almost 1 in 5 people in the UK often or always feel lonely. The figures are higher for the elderly and for young people. If you are lonely, it would seem, you are not alone but that is unlikely to provide much comfort. We are social creatures. We need to feel connected to others.“Supporting Good Mental Health” is a collection of 13 reflections from The Church of England.

Supporting Good Mental Health is a collection of 13 reflections from The Church of England, written by Professor Chris Cook and accompanied by “have a go” habits developed by Ruth Rice. You can download a free PDF that includes a total of thirteen reflections on Supporting Good Mental Health from cofe.io/MentalHealth. The effects of mental health problems are huge. Nearly nine out of ten people with mental health problems have been affected by stigma and discrimination. Given the challenging times we are living in with coronavirus, the reflections in this series were updated and new resources written in March 2020. They seek to provide hope, reassurance and comfort.
