How to know if you’re lonely

In today’s Briefing, we’ll learn just how much better life could be if we properly understood loneliness... because it’s connected to so many things that go wrong in our lives, like drug addiction, violence, crime


Dr Michelle Lim from Swinburne University is chair of Ending Loneliness Together - a national network of organisations working through collaborative action, research & policy to address loneliness in Australia.

Lockdown has ended….the community is opening up. But what if I’m still in personal lockdown? How do I know if I’m lonely? Loneliness - what it feels like, how difficult it is to identify, and the remedies to alleviate its impact on our daily lives.
