Loneliness can affect anyone – at any age and at any time in our lives. In East Sussex, it’s recognised as a public health concern, with serious impacts on people’s mental and physical health.
The truth is that loneliness is something most of us experience at some point in our lives. But do you know what loneliness looks like? Can you recognise it in yourself and others?
A campaign from East Sussex County Council is asking people to talk more openly about loneliness and spot the signs – both in yourself and those around you – before it becomes harmful. There is lots of support on offer locally, and plenty of things you can do that can help.
So, find out how you can support yourself and others, and help us Face Loneliness in East Sussex.
