Anyone can feel lonely, but our research shows that loneliness can badly affect young people. In response, we’ve developed a set of resources in partnership with the Department of Digital, Culture, Media and Sport for educators to use with young learners.

Learners will:

• identify and discuss what loneliness is and how it makes us act
• recognise situations and events that might make people feel lonely
• talk openly about loneliness and maintain meaningful connections with others
• learn what we can do to cope with loneliness and help others who feel lonely
