Our Medical Director at Thrive Tribe - Dr. Richard Pile, has a TEDx Talk, and it's out now! Titled “Loneliness may be worse for you than cancer”.
‍

Loneliness is an increasing problem in our society. It’s thought to be worse for you than smoking, obesity or physical inactivity and may increase your risk of an early death by 30% or more.
‍

In this talk, Richard takes us how it affects us, who is the most affected, and how we can be part of the solution by taking part in screening for loneliness and utilising the power of social prescribing.

‍

Whether you’re suffering from often feeling lonely yourselfor are involved in supporting people who are lonely themselves, this talk is for you.
