Disability and Loneliness: New Impact
The new issue of Impact magazine explores the global loneliness epidemic through a disability lens. Articles in the issue explore the latest loneliness research, promising programs tackling both loneliness and isolation in people with disabilities, and stories from individuals and families who share what loneliness looks like to them.
"It’s quite scary to think about the number of people who are experiencing loneliness, and just having a disability is a key risk factor."
