Social Isolation and Loneliness Awareness
Loneliness Awareness Social isolation and loneliness are on the rise across the United States. Nearly one-quarter of Americans ages 65+ are considered to be socially isolated, and a significant proportion of adults in the US report feeling lonely.
To raise awareness about the impact of social isolation on health and wellbeing, and the importance of social connection, the County has created Public Service Announcements (PSAs) to help older Angelenos stay better connected.
