Feeling lonely is something that all of us can experience at any point and it can have a huge impact on our wellbeing.

It’s important to remember that these feelings can pass and that there are lots of ways we can help each other too.

Text on the left reads: “Lift someone out of loneliness.” The logos for “Better Health” and “Every Mind Matters” are displayed at the bottom. The image encourages reaching out to others to help combat loneliness.
