Assisting with Loneliness

Don't Suffer in Silence...we're listening

Understanding Loneliness and Its Impact

Loneliness is a complex emotional state that can have profound effects on mental and physical wellbeing. At Legacy Listens, we recognize that loneliness is not just about being alone, but about feeling disconnected from others and lacking meaningful relationships. Our Assisting with Loneliness service provides compassionate support and evidence-based strategies to help you build meaningful connections and improve your overall quality of life.

The Prevalence of Loneliness

Loneliness affects people of all ages and backgrounds. Recent studies have shown:

Up to 1 in 5 adults experience loneliness regularly
Loneliness can be as harmful to health as smoking 15 cigarettes a day
Social isolation increases the risk of premature death by up to 50%

Our Assisting with Loneliness service aims to address this growing concern and provide effective support for those struggling with feelings of isolation.

The Difference Between Loneliness Support and Traditional Therapy

While our loneliness support services share some similarities with traditional therapy, there are key differences:

Loneliness Support	Traditional Therapy
Focused specifically on addressing loneliness and social connection	May address a broader range of mental health concerns
Emphasizes practical skills and strategies for building relationships	May explore deeper psychological issues and past experiences
Often includes social skills training and exercises	May not always include specific skills training
Can be shorter-term, focused on achieving specific social goals	Can be longer-term, addressing ongoing mental health needs

Our loneliness support services can complement traditional therapy but are not a substitute for professional mental health treatment when needed.
