The leading cause of depression is loneliness.

1 in 2 American adults experience loneliness

43% of Americans feel they don’t have meaningful relationships (people to talk to about how they really are)

Cigna Corporation, 2018


Social disconnection increases the risk of heart disease, stroke, dementia, even early death.

74% of people in the U.S. feel like they don’t belong in their local communities.

Loneliness has the same impact on our mortality as smoking 15 cigarettes a day.

Department of Health & Human Services, 2023
