Everyone Belongs: Starting the Conversation

On this week's episode of Already All Around, we begin a six-week series on loneliness and isolation, and what we can all do to strengthen our social connections and friendships. The Surgeon General, Dr. Vivek Murthy, has declared loneliness to be an epidemic, affecting one in every two Americans, to the detriment of their mental and physical health. Dr. Murthy's office has published a thorough, accessible, and practical report to call Americans to action. On the Already All Around podcast, we're answering the call to action! Host Meredith Gudger-Raines will walk us through the report, talk to others about their experience with loneliness and community, and offer some practical advice from her community building experience in congregations. Together, we can end loneliness and create communities where everyone can find their place.
