Since the pandemic started, loneliness has increased by 20% to 30%, and emotional distress has more than tripled. statnews.com/2020/08/13/teac…

Such an important initiative. A small amount of time can have a long-lasting impact. Consider @joingenhelp

Children of the @Dawoodi_Bohras of #Calgary brought smiles to residents at @joingenhelp, which works hard to tackle loneliness among older adults. Bohras are taught to respect and love their elders. This is essential during #COVID19 as many seniors are stuck at home. @UN4Ageing

This was an activity that the children and adults both enjoyed in our community. Thank you @joingenhelp for this wonderful initiative #communityaffections #yyc
Can't stop! Won't stop!
We dropped 200 cards at Carewest Garrison Green facility. 60 of those cards and artwork were created by the lovely @Bohras_Canada community of Calgary. They joined us to drop the cards off!

It was a great and insightful session, thank you!
We talked to @TricoStudioMRU online community today about #loneliness and #socialisolation among older adults!
We asked the group what did they think about loneliness and they generated some amazing insights!

This is brilliant!

FACT: #COVID19 is NOT airborne.
The #coronavirus is mainly transmitted through droplets generated when an infected person coughs, sneezes or speaks.
To protect yourself:
-keep 1m distance from others
-disinfect surfaces frequently
-wash/rub your 👐
-avoid touching your 👀👃👄

How are you coping with loneliness?
Social distancing and self-isolation is becoming the new normal - meaning loneliness will be an issue for many of us.
