Loneliness makes every other problem deeper, makes every journey longer, and every victory harder. -Amazing work is being done to address this growing problem, but this work is highly fragmented across academic disciplines, local experiments, and other isolated initiatives. We bring together researchers and innovators to find out what works, and what works big. Then we share those best practices to help amplify successful programs and reconnect humanity. We need to fast-track getting these solutions into communities and the marketplace, to as many people as possible.Work with us to win this. When you win against loneliness, you help society in so many other meaningful ways.
