Maria's Story – WHO Commission on Social Connection

Social isolation and loneliness are painful, harmful for our health, and can affect anyone, anywhere. Sharing our stories of social isolation and loneliness with each other is the first step towards harnessing the #PowerOfConnection to make a positive difference. The Social Connection Series is a living collection of short films that feature the lived experiences of people around the world on social connection. In this film, sit down with us to listen to Maria's Story and explore why social connection is central to our health, well-being, and to being human.
