Many information and referral programs hear from callers who are lonely
or socially isolated. Whether frequent callers or individuals reaching out for
the first time, I&R programs are often a point of connection for people
experiencing social disconnection. Join this webinar to gain greater insight
into key trends on the issues of social isolation and loneliness. Learn about
the Systems Approach of Cross-sector Integration and Action across the Lifespan
(SOCIAL) Framework and how this model addresses critical intersections that
impact social connections. Come away with ideas and possible strategies for
your community. This webinar will also highlight a national initiative to leverage
collective efforts, resources, and activities to increase social connections in
the U.S.
