Loneliness crisis affecting one in two Aussies
Published 3 days, 8 hours ago
Description
New research reveals one in two Australians are experiencing social disconnection, with young adults aged 18 to 25 being the loneliest age group. Having just one close friend can reduce loneliness risk by up to 89%, while practical solutions include community engagement, volunteering, and men's groups like W Now that combine beach training, swimming and peer support circles. Loneliness Awareness Week highlights the growing crisis of social disconnection despite increased digital connectivity.
