FUNDING-Robert Wood Johnson Foundation - Developing Solutions for Social Isolation in the U.S.: Learning from the World; December 21, 2017

 

Description

 

Social connections can help us thrive. But too many people feel disconnected from society and from life, and that contributes to a host of physical, mental and emotional health problems. School children, teens, new mothers, immigrants, LGBT people, people living in remote areas, even millennials with thousands of Facebook friends, often feel excluded or like they don’t belong. We want to learn about solutions that have worked in other countries to address social isolation across all ages and life stages, so that we can strengthen social connection in the United States. With this call for proposals, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation is looking for the best ideas from around the world that address social isolation and promote positive, healthy social connections, and well-being.
