The Washington Post | Loneliness poses profound public health threat, surgeon general says
“Probably our most effective way to reduce loneliness is if we take more care of the people in our lives,” MCC's Rick Weissbourd told The Washington Post in response to the U.S. Surgeon General’s May 2023 advisory on how loneliness negatively affects mental health. “We have to have parents and schools and communities that put caring for people front and center again, and if they do that, we are going to have a society where people are less lonely but also people are more moral, more justice-minded and healthier.”
