In this wellbeing special episode, our host Johnny talks about loneliness with Dr. Rob Rosa, Chief Medical Officer at Aviva.
What's the difference between being alone and being lonely? Can you be lonely, even in a crowd of people?
Listen to the latest episode of the Aviva Podcast to hear Dr. Rob Rosa share some helpful advice on what loneliness is, how it can manifest, and what resources are out there to help.
Whether you're feeling lonely yourself or you're worried about someone else, we hope that there will be something for you in this episode.
"... that tiny little intervention of 'let's go have a coffee' or 'what's up?' ... they can be magical to receive, and that is win/win. There is no downside. None at all."
Dr. Rob Rosa
