Many people experience loneliness or isolation due to life changes or the pull of digital connection that often replaces deeper relationships. Over time, this can quietly impact our wellbeing and sense of belonging. The Forum on the Green will explore this reality with speakers who bring lived experience and insight, helping us understand the causes of loneliness and how we can address it, both personally and as a community.
