WARNING: LONELINESS AFFECTS HEALTH

ON World Mental Health Day, Relationships Australia NSW urges recognition of relationships as a core pillar of mental health. Loneliness affects one in six people globally and contributes to significant ill-health, yet social connection is often overlooked in a medically focused system.
