🕶 The summer months can bring unique challenges and feelings of #isolation for students on break from university. University life provides a built-in #community and going home can feel like a jolt to the system.       Togetherall’s #digitalpeersupport is there for students 24/7/365, meaning they can still access the support they need whenever and wherever they need it – on campus or thousands of miles away.      Feelings of stress, anxiety, and depression don’t take a summer break, and neither does the support students need to access in-the-moment.       Togetherall is here to ensure students don’t feel alone during the summer months.      👉 Learn more:   https://lnkd.in/eY-P7WBq      #mentalhealth #digitalmentalhealth #studentmentalhealth

Loneliness is more than just an emotional experience — it's a public health issue that affects millions across the UK. According to the British Red Cross, over 9 million people in the UK report feeling lonely often or always. This epidemic is not only emotionally taxing but also has serious health implications. Research shows that #loneliness can be as damaging to our health as smoking 15 cigarettes a day.  In our interconnected digital age, it might seem paradoxical that loneliness is so prevalent. Yet, the statistics are staggering. In the UK:  🔸 63% of young adults (aged 18-34) feel lonely often or always.   🔸 1 in 5 people say they feel lonely some or all of the time.   🔸 3 in 4 older adults (aged 75+) say they are lonely.   (Source: https://lnkd.in/e75pzV46)  At Togetherall, we’re rooted in human connection – the antithesis of loneliness. By fostering genuine connections, we're working to combat this loneliness epidemic, one conversation at a time.   Learn more about how you can provide #digitalpeersupport with the safeguarding of 24/7 clinical moderation for your population.  👉 https://lnkd.in/eYSV9bzE #loneliness #peersupport #mentalhealth #digitalmentalhealth #connection  

✨The power of population-level mental health care ✨      The World Health Organization (WHO) declared that prevention and early treatment of mental health problems in university students is a key public health priority because university students are the future social capital of society (Cuijpers et al., 2021, p 2)  Using a #populationapproach for university #mentalhealth care, like Togetherall, acts as an early intervention tool and reaches students who wouldn’t typically seek help. It’s a cost-effective solution for administrations while providing students with 24/7/365 access to mental health support. With round-the-clock safeguarding from licensed mental health practitioners, the service is self-sustaining and ensures complete safety, meaning a low lift for administrators and counselling personnel.  👉 Read our blogpost by psychologist James Lyda, Ph.D., as he delves into the benefits of population approach for early intervention:   https://lnkd.in/ez82-xQj  #earlyintervention #digitalpeersupport #digitalmentalhealth
