The Loneliness Epidemic
June 2026 (Date TBA)
Hillside, 690 Courtenay Dr NE
Modern life is designed for efficiency. Groceries appear at the door. Broken items are replaced instead of repaired. Every want arrives with a tap on the touch screen. This in-person panel discusses the unintended cost of convenience: fewer opportunities for connection, patience, frustration-tolerance, community interdependence, and the shared tasks that once shaped children’s sense of competence and belonging.
