Social Isolation / Loneliness
The U.S. surgeon general recently stated that loneliness is more serious a health problem than opiates. To illustrate this rising problem, the number of Americans with “no friends” has tripled since 1985. The U.K. has just named a Minister of Loneliness to create policies to deal with the challenge of social isolation.
38
Technology and Isolation• ____% of teens have access to smartphone; millennials look at their phones over ____
times a day.
• From data on national surveys with over 500,000 American teenagers ..• Those who spend more time on social media (Snapchat, Facebook, Instagram or
smart phone) are more likely to agree with “the future seems more hopeless”.• Those spending time in sport, homework, or socializing had fewer mental problems.
• Those who gave up Facebook reported feeling less depressed at the end of the week
• 12th graders who are satisfied with themselves or life overall has dropped 10% in last 5 years; loneliness is up 10%.

Belonging
Belonging is active, not passive (I invite someone to connect; make a bid). It requires persistent work and does not occur haphazardly (I make the
choice of spending time to engage and connect). It endures over time (it is not an event, but a pattern). It is tied to shared values (I share something meaningful to me with those I
belong to). It shapes well-being (belonging increases a sense of personal well being
and closeness).
