Loneliness among seniors is a silent struggle that often goes unnoticed, but it can have a profound impact on emotional well-being. Robert Huggins, Director of the Elderly Affairs Unit within the Ministry of Health, Wellness, and Elderly Affairs, is shedding light on this pressing issue. In a heartfelt appeal, Huggins emphasized the importance of staying connected with family and friends, urging seniors to combat feelings of isolation by reaching out through phone calls, video chats, or social media. With changing social circles as we age, he highlighted that maintaining regular communication is not just a way to stay in touch—it’s a vital lifeline for emotional health and support.
