Show Notes

The World Health Organisation has declared loneliness to be a pressing global health threat and has launched a commission to tackle the issue. Social isolation is linked to anxiety and depression and can increase risk of cardiovascular disease by 30% . In today’s deep dive, we’ll ask Dr Kate Filia, senior research fellow at Orygen Australia, why so many young Australians are lonely and how a ‘social prescription’ can help.

If you want to send your name into space, you can do so here.
