Tackling loneliness

Use a range of mixed media resources to explore loneliness and how we can help people who feel lonely.

Anyone can feel lonely, but our research shows that loneliness can badly affect young people. In response, we’ve developed a set of resources in partnership with the Department of Digital, Culture, Media and Sport for educators to use with young learners.

Learners will:

• identify and discuss what loneliness is and how it makes us act
• recognise situations and events that might make people feel lonely
• talk openly about loneliness and maintain meaningful connections with others
• learn what we can do to cope with loneliness and help others who feel lonely
