Why we run our webinar
Marmalade Trust is a leading loneliness charity for all ages, dedicated to raising awareness of loneliness and empowering people to make connections. As experts in our field, we are passionate about sharing our knowledge to help others.
​
It may be starting a new job, moving to a new city, becoming a parent, or a bereavement that triggers feelings of loneliness. It is nothing to be ashamed of and yet there remains so much stigma surrounding it. We have a normalising approach to viewing loneliness. Loneliness is a natural human emotion - and one we are all likely to experience at points throughout our lives. We are human beings; we need social contact. We need to stop stigmatising loneliness and begin to understand it.
By raising awareness of loneliness within your organisation with this webinar, we hope to help your employees understand what loneliness is, how it can be managed and ultimately help to reduce feelings of loneliness in the workplace and beyond.
What does the webinar cover?
This webinar provides an excellent level of understanding of loneliness. You’ll learn about the different types of loneliness, key life indicators for loneliness, how to talk about it, the impact of loneliness on our health and wellbeing, as well as tips and strategies to help yourself and others manage it.
The webinar includes a brief introduction to Marmalade Trust, a section about loneliness, the impact of loneliness, how to address loneliness and a 15-minute Q&A session at the end.
