Where we can help, and where we can’t

lonely on April 21, 2023

Loneliness is a problem that many of us face.

If that’s you, we empathize and understand. Unfortunately, we don’t have support to offer you. The Loneliness Institute doesn’t have and resources that can help individuals struggling with loneliness.

We are focused on researchers and innovators who are trying to find and build big solutions that can help millions of people. All of our programs are designed to help those folks help as many people as possible.

You can learn more about our solutions model here. Specifically, our work is limited in these ways:

  • We are not involved in studying the loneliness problem in general – just how to fix it.
  • We are not studying adjacent fields such as aging or teen social media use.
  • We are not a social services organization that provides direct help to individuals impacted by loneliness. 
  • We are not a public resource serving people interested in learning about the topic.

Loneliness Institute Pre-launch

lonely on March 13, 2023

Hi! Welcome to the pre-launch site of the loneliness institute.

We’re in the process of setting up the organization, building a team, and kicking off our programs.

Our focus is on professionals working on solutions to the loneliness epidemic. We don’t have any consumer-focused activities, and don’t plan to offer them.

If you’re a researchers or innovator working on loneliness solutions, please contact us to participate.
