Loneliness With Sam

Hello & Welcome to the Research Zone podcast, the podcast where we aim to make sense of youth mental health research. Each week, we will talk to a different researcher to learn about their research project, discussing the why, what, where, when and how of their research, and most importantly, how this can benefit us as young people. 

Today I am joined by Sam to chat about loneliness in 16-24 year olds. We will cover: 

Why loneliness is such an important issue Sam’s project & his unique interview methodHis findings about the experience of loneliness and potential causes What young people can do if they feel lonely Future research needed in this area
