A nationwide campaign is looking for solutions to loneliness.
For some of us, the holidays are full of family and friends. But this can also a lonely time of year for many. Health experts say loneliness can be hazardous to our health, though, and researchers in the United Kingdom are taking it seriously.
Join KCUR health reporter Alex Smith for an exploration of the UK's national program to address loneliness and find out what we in the Midwest can learn about fixing the problem.
This documentary was produced as part of "Loneliness Is Killing You," a reporting project made possible in part by a fellowship sponsored by the Association of Health Care Journalists and supported by The Commonwealth Fund.
