Based on your own experience, would you agree that people are more disconnected and lonely than they were five years ago? Is this mainly due to the aftereffects of anti-COVID measures, or are there other important factors? Obviously, loneliness can have an important negative impact on your mental but also physical health. What do you think about the US response in terms of a declaration by the Surgeon General or a bill allowing doctors to do “social prescribing”? To what extent is loneliness a problem that needs to be solved versus an experience that needs to be accepted and even embraced? Does our school (in terms of both staff and students) make a good effort to combat loneliness?
