SUMMARY:Don't Go It Alone: Improving Your Social Connections
DESCRIPTION:Presented by the U of I Extension and the Chester Memorial Hospital. \nResearch increasingly shows that social isolation and loneliness can deeply impact the quality of life\, especially for older adults. And some studies show that more than 20% of adults in the United States identify as lonely\, isolated\, or both.  \nFamily Life Educator Robin Ridgley will help us understand the difference between social isolation and loneliness and identify risk factors. We will also explore the various consequences of isolation and loneliness and strategies for staying connected with others. \nPre-registration recommended! Feel free to bring a guest or two!  \nClick the link below to register. \nDon’t Go It Alone: Improving Your Social Connections | MHChester
