The current practice of physical distancing can create situations of isolation and loneliness. Many people struggle with loneliness yet it is rarely discussed in our society. This course will examine the stigma of loneliness and focus on the definitions and differences between loneliness and isolation. The experience of solitude and its value will be explored. Strategies to manage loneliness will be discussed and students will be encouraged to gain perspective on the emotions associated with loneliness and isolation.

To join this course you will need access to the internet or a phone. We look forward to connecting with you and sharing ideas on how to manage during these challenging current events.
