''Social Isolation is defined as a state of complete or near complete lack of contact between an individual and society. Isolation can be an issue for people of any age, however, as we age, the impact of becoming socially isolated can be more detrimental to our well being. This resource will primarily explore the experience of social isolation as it relates to older adults. The goal is to assist in the recognition of those at risk in the community and to better equip individuals to help out.''
