🇬🇧 “The UK is sick. It’s much sicker than other similar countries, and the situation is getting worse, snowballing into a health, social, medical, economic, and potential budgetary crisis.” The rise in the bill for working-age health-related benefits has surged from £36bn before the pandemic to £48bn in the last financial year.

🗓️ 22 ottobre 2024 | 15:00 – 18:30 | Fondazione Morra Greco Cultura e salute. Star bene con i musei I musei contemporanei non sono solo luoghi di conservazione e fruizione artistica, ma attori fondamentali nel promuovere il #benessere di individui e #comunità. Tra i loro obiettivi principali, infatti, dovrebbe emergere con forza la capacità di favorire il benessere psicofisico e sociale dei diversi pubblici, attraverso una strategia che valorizzi la responsabilità sociale, l’inclusione e il rispetto delle diversità. Durante l’evento, esperti provenienti da diversi ambiti, tra cui #neuroscienze, #medicina, #biologia, #psicologia e medicina narrativa, dialogheranno con professionisti del settore museale per esplorare insieme le potenzialità dei musei come agenti di benessere. Sarà un’occasione preziosa per scambiare idee e stimolare nuove sinergie tra cultura e salute, con l’obiettivo di costruire un futuro in cui le istituzioni culturali possano sempre più contribuire al miglioramento della qualità della vita.

More and more policy makers are recognising the importance of #social #connections, meaning the way people interact and connect with each other, in strengthening #wellbeing policies. Despite increasing policy attention, the #OECD WISE Centre’s latest analysis shows that loneliness is included in fewer than half of national surveys. Also, the lack of harmonisation within concepts such as #loneliness #socialisolation and #socialsupport hinders comparability of data across countries and over time. Discover the challenges of #data availability and harmonisation, along with potential solutions 👉 https://bit.ly/47qVK44 WHO Commission on Social Connection | Global Initiative on Loneliness and Connection | Annecy Behavioral Science Lab | U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) | Julianne Holt-Lunstad | Hans Rocha IJzerman | Christopher Mikton | Juan Albertorio | Lara Fleischer
