To mark Loneliness Awareness Week, NHS Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin has unveiled a new initiative aimed at addressing the issue of loneliness among children in the region.
The 'Open Up' campaign seeks to raise awareness about the signs of loneliness and provide practical guidance and support to parents, carers, and children on how to prevent and combat loneliness.
According to the survey, 22 per cent of parents and carers believed that children spending time alone is the most significant indicator of loneliness. The campaign recognises that children often hide their true feelings, appearing happy on the outside while struggling with loneliness internally. Recognising and addressing these feelings can help a child’s wellbeing.
