Social isolation and loneliness

Social isolation and loneliness

Social isolation and loneliness not only have detrimental impacts on wellbeing but are increasingly recognised as major predictors of poorer physical and mental health outcomes. 

Support at Camden

Tackling social isolation and loneliness while strengthening community connectedness is a key strategic priority for Camden. Camden has developed a Social Isolation Needs Assessment to review social isolation, loneliness and community connectedness, including risk factors, health impacts and current service provision. 

Camden, together campaign resources aimed at destigmatising loneliness and providing opportunities for residents to connect with others can be found below: 

  • Connecting: Focused on the benefits of connection, list of broad range of activities/events/services that residents can use to connect 

  • Loneliness: Focused on understanding and destigmatising loneliness, and accessing relevant support including mental health support 

 

The Camden Companion is a downloadable essential guide to healthy living in Camden. It provides a directory of support and services that Camden tenants may wish to consider to help them stay well and connect with local communities.
