Loneliness poses a huge health problem for a lot of people. The risks include depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, and decreased wellbeing. COVID-19 has increased feelings of loneliness and most kids aged 13 to 25 feel frustrated, nervous, and disconnected during the quarantine.
We are launching, with the help of Heartfulness Institute, a 4-week program to manage stress and develop overall wellbeing. This program will begin on July 11, 2020. The total time needed to be part of this program is 15 minutes for daily activity and 4 thirty-minute webinars. This will be part of a research project, funded by Heartfulness Institute, to explore the impact of Heartfulness program on loneliness in high school students in the US.
