This new website, launched in #Sheffield yesterday by Rotherham MCVC, has true potential to support veterans & their families in #SouthYorkshire and to combat #loneliness by signposting to organisations, events & services. Please help promote & share. This could be a model of best practice also to be adopted on a much wider basis going forward. movetogrid.org.uk
An absolute honour attending Sheffield City Hall today for the Rotherham MCVC #MoveToGrid launch of their new, all in one place, website providing signposting & awareness to #SouthYorkshire veterans & their families of organisations, events & services movetogrid.org.uk/

Great work @Benfogle & @BBC , helping raise awareness of #loneliness and it's relationship with #mentalhealth; and how being outdoors, having purpose, getting exercise & utilising #holistic activities all have such a powerful role to play to mitigate it. Keep up the inspirational work empowering young people to be their best selves @Columba1400

This recent @APA research highlights some very interesting & significant elements of #loneliness, whereby those living this journey can potentially misperceive the values & beliefs of those close to them. This can create a tangible barrier of communication between someone and their support networks & aggravate any existing #trauma.
Does #loneliness change our perception of love? Research indicates that those who feel lonely tend to underestimate the care and affection shown towards them. See more highlights from recent peer-reviewed studies: at.apa.org/y6i
