Special Report: Loneliness & Making Connections feat. CT Psychological Assoc. / Thin Line Peer Support Team / U.S. Senator Chris Murphy
Oct 13, 12:15 PM
This week we're reacting to the epidemic of loneliness and social isolation with a Special Report featuring three guests all confronting and dealing with the issue in their own ways.
First, we'll discuss the causes, effects, and ways to address loneliness with a representative from the CT Psychological Assoc.
Then we'll re-connect with the co-founder of the Thin Line Peer Support Team - a grassroots nonprofit comprising trained first responders and military veterans who volunteer to reach out and counsel peers facing work- and service-related depression who may be at risk for social isolation and self harm.
And we'll close with U.S. Senator Chris Murphy, who has already offered two federal legislative proposals to begin responding to the epidemic of loneliness and isolation here in the state and across the nation.
