The notions of loneliness and social isolation have been clearly identified as vexing issues for individuals and families today. We know that when families are rendered isolated, bad things can follow including adverse health issues, unhappiness/depression, challenges with life success, and even shortened life expectancy. We also know that marginalized groups, folks with disabilities, seniors, those in poverty, and other minorities, are at greater risk of being lonely, isolated, or disconnected.
This session will examine social isolation that can affect individuals as well as families. Not only will we look at the research and data related to this concept, but we will explore strategies, and actions that can be employed in addressing loneliness by have social capital principles work for the people you support. In an interactive format, we will examine ways and means to building more effective relationship possibilities.

The findings from the Kaiser-CDC Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) study have greatly influenced our understanding of childhood adversity as a social determinant of health. Research has paid little attention to racial differences in the relationship between ACEs, protective factors, and resilience. To promote health equity and reduce racial disparities in key health outcomes, an integrated risk and resilience research approach is needed. The current study uses combined data from the 2016, 2017, and 2018 National Survey of Children’s Health (NSCH). The NSCH is a nationally representative data set of all youth in the U.S. and was collected by the U.S. Census Bureau. Analytic results show that high family resilience buffers the effects of ACE exposure on several child health outcomes. Further, findings suggest the protective effects of family resilience may offset higher exposure to certain ACEs among racial and ethnic minority children. Translating this research into practice can lead to tailored prevention and treatment solutions for children, specifically within communities of color.
