The COVID-19 pandemic has underscored how important social connections are. Prior to the pandemic we had known about the health impacts of social isolation and loneliness, but now we are seeing it with our own eyes. This webinar explores the concept of "Social Frailty", which directly links social connectivity to physical and emotional health, and highlights results from a scoping review of social frailty interventions for older adults. Finally, we will explore some promising interventions to combat social frailty in rural and remote areas.
Presenter: Leigh Hayden, Project Coordinator, Centre for Elder Research, Sheridan College.
