ABOUT US
​
​
​
The Global Initiative on Loneliness and Connection (GILC) is comprised of non-profit organizations committed to ending the pressing global issues of loneliness and social isolation through awareness, research, supporting implementers of evidence-based practices, and advocating policy change. We support the organizations through the dissemination of system-wide, national approaches and global strategies to build social connection.
OUR APPROACH
Bring together national non-profit organizations and build partnerships with multi-national stakeholders and funders to global impact
Encourage global knowledge sharing to improve impact and reach on evidence-based solutions that work
aligning the global reserach community for a common approach to knowledge translation and plugging gaps in the evidence-base; spurring the next generation of researchers
Support national, systemic policy solutions and strategies to end loneliness and promote connection. Advocate for their adoption.
