Loneliness – let’s talk about it

The Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) recently launched the next phase of their loneliness campaign activity, as part of the Better Health – Every Mind Matters campaign. This follows the success of last year’s national campaign which encouraged young people to support others feeling lonely. Following the launch, DCMS has now added new assets to the toolkit, which partners can use. We are all affected by loneliness at times in our lives. The Every Mind Matters Loneliness campaign aims to normalise feelings of loneliness to reduce the stigma, so people feel able to seek help and support.
