Ending Loneliness Together Webinar on Global Social Connection

Our recent Ending Loneliness Together webinar brought together global leaders and experts to spotlight the urgent importance of social connection.

The event featured opening remarks from The Hon Ralph Regenvanu, WHO Commissioner on Social Connection, and The Hon Ged Kearney MP, Assistant Minister for Social Services and Prevention of Family Violence.

Our expert panel included:

Associate Professor Michelle Lim (Australia) – Chair, Ending Loneliness Together and member of the WHO Technical Advisory Group
Professor Naoki Kondo (Japan) – WHO Technical Advisory Group member
Ms Amber Brock-Fabel – Founder, South Australian Youth Forum

Together, they unpacked the key insights from the World Health Organization’s landmark report on social connection, reflecting on its global implications and what it means for communities here in Australia.
The message was clear: connection matters now more than ever — for health, wellbeing, and the resilience of our societies.
