Young adulthood can be a lonely time. Anyone can experience #loneliness & at any point in life but it’s often triggered by significant life events – both positive (such as new parenthood or a new job) & negative (bereavement, separation or health problems) @DrKeithSwanick @wef.

"Sometimes all it takes is a cup of tea and a bit of a laugh to lift an older person's spirits. "A few minutes may not mean much to you, but to a lonely older person it could be the highlight of their day." @MarianKeyes #loneliness @DrKeithSwanick.
