LONELINESS
Loneliness is common human experience. Loneliness is something we can all experience from time to time, throughout our lives, and will be unique to each individual. Loneliness is the negative feeling we have when there is a difference between the relationships we have and those we want.
This guide from the Mental Health Foundation gives advice and support on spotting when your child or young person feels lonely and how to support them with emotional loneliness, social loneliness and existential loneliness.
