Mental Health Awareness: Loneliness

Friends laughing while sitting on a mountain wall

It's Mental Health Awareness Week and this year's focus is loneliness. Research shows face-to-face social interactions can have positive long-term impact on your health, happiness, and even life-span.

You can find out more about how people connect with each other in the world's "blue zones" here:

Maybe you too can connect with someone this week and make it a more regular thing, an old friend or a new one.

Or, if you feel like talking to an impartial listener, from Ireland you can always text/phone/email the nice folks at
