What If Loneliness Is More Than A Passing Longing

Adria Botella

In The Moment ... February 14, 2019 Show 516 Hour 1

Researchers say chronic loneliness is a public health crisis and a national epidemic. It's as life-threatening as smoking 15 cigarettes a day.

We wanted to know more about the impact of loneliness in people's lives, so we reached out to Ann Henkin and Pat Hammond. Henkin is a retired mental health counselor. Hammond is associate pastor of congregational care at First Presbyterian Church in Sioux Falls. 

Lori Walsh is the host and senior producer of In the Moment.
