Increasing Loneliness of Seniors. “We Can Help Them”

According to statistical data, older people in Poland feel increasingly lonely. They submit to isolation, become depressed, and their health deteriorates. “Seniors need contact and friendship. However, they are not always able to articulate it clearly. Sometimes simple mindfulness to another person is enough to help,” explains Dr. Rafał Bakalarczyk, a social activist and publicist, an expert on older people at the “Senior Hub” Senior Policy Institute.
