Supporting the dissemination of best practices in evidence-informed social connection programs, services, and supports

Committee Overview

The Practice Committee is composed of representatives from the practitioner community from the GILC Member Organizations (GMOs) and the vast network of individual practitioners engaged in delivering evidence-informed solutions that address Social Isolation, Loneliness, and Connection (SILC).

​

The Committee's purpose is to provide education, best practice sharing, and translation of evidence base to support the delivery of evidence-based practices that address SILC. The Practice Committee does not deliver solutions, rather it supports practitioners who implement solutions.
