THE OPPORTUNITY.

Among their many programs and investments to address health equity, the Humana Foundation leads programs that create healthy emotional connections through eliminating mental health disparities and inequities, creating support networks, and connecting people with programs and services that are committed to suicide prevention, substance abuse treatment and combatting loneliness and isolation. Knowing that loneliness can be a result of a person’s low social connectedness, Humana and the Humana Foundation realized the need for a public health awareness campaign focused on bringing together partners committed to improving health by increasing social connectedness and, consequently, reducing feelings of loneliness. Together, they created “Far From Alone.”

Our Commitment.

The Humana Foundation and its partners will leverage the “Far From Alone” campaign to drive awareness, action and advocacy designed to increase a person’s social connectedness.

Awareness

We are leveraging a global cultural moment (when loneliness and isolation is top-of-mind) to raise awareness of the issue and its negative consequences on health, along with organizations that are making strides to help.

Action

The Far From Alone website serves as a central hub that highlights partners and information that help consumers and their loved ones increase their social connectedness as a way of reducing feelings of loneliness and social isolation.

Advocacy

We partner with diverse stakeholders to advocate for social connectedness and influence policy change that reduces feelings of loneliness and social isolation, demonstrating the powerful impact of health-related social needs.
