Don't miss your final chance to join us for "A Connected Future: Recommendations for Public Health and Aging Partnerships in Illinois to Address Social Connectedness" on August 26, 2:00pm- 3:30pm CT. Social isolation and loneliness rates have been rising and were made worse by the COVID-19 pandemic. Some populations, including older adults, youth, those identifying as LGBTQIA, and caregivers are especially vulnerable to social isolation and loneliness. Social isolation and loneliness have been linked to worsened health outcomes, but there are things that can be done at the individual, interpersonal, community, and policy level that can improve outcomes and promote social connectedness. Featured speakers include Marla Fronczak, CEO, AgeGuide, Susan Real, CEO, East Central Illinois Area Agency on Aging, and other local public health leaders. Register today: https://lnkd.in/gCwATQwu.
