– Loneliness is a public health problem. That is why it is important that we all think through what we can contribute, especially now in the dark times, says President Siri Hatlen of the Red Cross TV 2.
The figure for how many people feel lonelier during the holidays than at other times of the year comes from a survey that Opinion has carried out for the Red Cross.
According to the survey, more women than men experience loneliness. In addition, it is especially the younger and older who struggle the most.
There are many reasons why people are lonely.
– In any case, we encourage people to care. Think about what each of us can do to make life a little less lonely. Invite people for a coffee, go for a visit, pick up the phone to someone you think needs to talk. Everyone can make a difference, says Hatlen to TV 2.
