The Silent Epidemic: Loneliness and its Impact on Health and Well-being. |EP111|

|EP111| Today On Stay At Home Dads Podcast I talk about the United States Surgeon General Vivek Murthy's statement that loneliness has become an epidemic. I then take a dive into the Department of Health and Human Services report on this subject called Our Epidemic of Loneliness and Isolation. I discuss the effects of loneliness and lacking social connection, what that does to our health and wellness, as well the effect is has on young people. I also talk about ways we can combat this issue and stay connected with family and friends as well as cultivate new connections with people and out community. The full report I referenced is linked below, also be sure to send me your questions or comments on Pod Bean or the Instagram page @stayathomedads_podcast.
