An author talk with Jeremy Nobel, MD, MPH

In conversation with Hahna David Patterson, Assistant VP, Division of Student Affairs, UNE, Jess Maurer, Executive Director of Maine Council on Aging, and Julie Greene, MPH, Director of Guiding Stars, Hannaford.

Dr. Nobel will discuss his new book, Project UnLonely: Healing Our Crisis of Disconnection, which offers hopeful insight into our new world of loneliness.

About Project UnLonely:
Even before 2020, chronic loneliness was a
private experience of profound anguish that
had become a public health crisis. Since then it has reached new heights. Loneliness assumes many forms, from enduring physical isolation to feeling rejected because of difference, and it can have devastating consequences for our physical and mental health. As the founder of Project UnLonely, Jeremy Nobel unpacks our personal and national experience of loneliness to discover its roots and take steps to find comfort and connection.

About the author:
Jeremy Nobel, M.D., MPH, is a primary-care
physician, public health practitioner, and
award-winning poet with faculty appointments at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and the Harvard Medical School. He is the founder and president of The Foundation for Art & Healing, whose signature initiative, Project UnLonely, addressing the personal and
public health challenges of loneliness and
social isolation, has gained national visibility.
