Friendship Needed: How Healthcare Organizations Can Help
Briefly

The U.S. Surgeon General has presented loneliness as a pervasive issue, establishing it as part of society's social infrastructure, affecting individuals' emotional well-being.
Emerging adults often cite their parents as their closest allies, reflecting a shift in relational dynamics. This can impact their ability to form future intimate relationships.
Researchers emphasize the necessity of teaching individuals how to build and maintain friendships that go beyond familial connections, fostering emotional and social health.
Effective interventions to combat loneliness must incorporate understanding one’s thoughts and feelings, guiding those affected on how to engage meaningfully with others.
