BBBC Insigths is holding a webinar on Tackling social isolation - health and well-being implications, on Tuesday 22 September at 12:00-

<p>The COVID-19 crisis has worsened social isolation within our communities, including for members that were already experiencing it prior to the pandemic. Many factors can cause people to be socially isolated, including a language barrier, mobility issues, digital inclusion, being out of a job, etc.  We measure the needs of our community based on the Unleashing Healthy Communities research, and one of the six crucial outcomes for a thriving community is being connected to others around you. 
</p><p>Social connection, or isolation, can have a major impact on one’s mental well-being and physical health, and several schemes and initiatives are already in place to tackle this growing issue, such as Social Prescribing or programmes such as Befriending schemes. 
</p><h3>This webinar, held by BBBC Insights on Tuesday 22 September at 12:00-13:00, will cover the following topics: 
</h3><ul><li>How can we identify isolated members of our communities? 
</li><li>What can be done to engage with people who are not usually connected to others? 
</li><li>How can we find out about local initiatives and make sure this is a collaborative approach? 
</li><li>What have we learnt during the pandemic about coping with social isolation? 
</li><li>How can we take the existing initiatives to the next level from where we are at now? 
</li></ul><p>Join us on 22nd September to hear from experiences Bromley By Bow Centre’s staff, find out what others are up to, and discuss ways to tackle social isolation for better health and well-being.
