An Invitation to Explore Existential Loneliness

Have you ever felt a profound sense of aloneness, even when surrounded by others? This feeling, known as existential loneliness, is a unique and complex human experience. It’s more than just social isolation; it’s a deeper feeling of separation from the world itself.

Join us for a free, thought-provoking webinar where we’ll explore this fascinating topic. Dr. Phoebe McKenna-Plumley from Queen’s University Belfast will share her research on this multidimensional experience.

What You’ll Discover

This webinar will provide a comprehensive overview of existential loneliness, covering:

• How it’s defined and measured: We’ll explore the frameworks used to understand and quantify this distinct form of loneliness.
• The connection to meaning and mental health: You’ll gain insight into how existential loneliness relates to our sense of purpose and overall well-being.
• A look at the latest research: The presentation will cover current findings and what the existing literature says about this topic.
• The human experience: Go beyond the theory to gain a deeper understanding of what it feels like to live with this unique dimension of loneliness.

This session is designed for researchers, policymakers, and anyone looking to deepen their understanding of loneliness and its broader impact on health and well-being.

The presentation will last 30-40 minutes, followed by a 20-minute Q&A session.
