Research suggests that people in this age group are at a higher risk of feeling lonely compared to other age groups, but less likely to seek advice and support.
帮助他人走出孤独 ‘活动鼓励人们与他人建立联系，并采取简单的措施来改善心理健康，如与朋友建立联系、参加团体、帮助他人和做自己喜欢的事情。.
布里斯托尔、北萨默塞特和南格洛斯特郡临床委托小组（BNSSG CCG）临床主席乔纳森-海斯（Jonathan Hayes）博士说：
Good mental health and wellbeing is a high priority for local health services so this campaign is very welcome at a time when many people are feeling the effects of loneliness.
除了提供广泛的服务来帮助那些有精神健康问题的人，我们还希望帮助居民自助，使他们能够获得正确的支持。.

针对孤独的建议
Here are some tips on how to help yourself or others if you or they are feeling lonely.
- 与周围的人保持联系 与朋友和家人交谈。有时，一次友好的聊天就能带来很大的不同，无论对方是在街角还是在更远的地方。.
- Join a group 寻找有共同兴趣的团体。加入线下或线上团体或俱乐部是建立联系和结识朋友的好方法。想一想您想尝试的活动，并寻找以这些活动为中心的团体。.
- 做自己喜欢的事情 多做一些自己喜欢的事情，让自己的时间充实起来，这样就不会再把注意力放在孤独感上，对身心健康也有好处。.
- Share your feelings – but do not compare 能够与他人倾诉自己的感受有助于排解孤独，听到熟悉的声音或看到友好的面孔会让我们感觉不那么孤立。.
- Help someone else feel connected Reach out to others – think about people you know who might be feeling lonely and make an effort to connect with them. Think about making time to volunteer – it’s a great way to meet people and connect, and seeing the benefits of your actions can really help to boost your own mental wellbeing.
