Earlier today, members of the Coalition to End Social Isolation & Loneliness, including DOROT, submitted a letter to the Offices of Majority Leader Charles Schumer, Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, Speaker Kevin McCarthy, and Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.
The letter urged Congressional Leadership to include critical reforms in future legislative efforts that address the burgeoning crisis of social isolation and loneliness in the U.S. and ensure all Americans have the opportunities and supports necessary to be socially engaged in society.
This important action coincides with Global Loneliness Awareness Week and our continued efforts to raise awareness of these critical public health challenges.
