  • NCI-AD Webinar: Spotlight on Social Connectedness

    Feb 10th, 2021

    NCI-AD hosted a webinar on social connectedness among older adults and people with physical disabilities on February 3, 2021.

    Physical distancing requirements due to COVID-19 have exacerbated loneliness and social isolation for many people across the country. There are some unique considerations when thinking about these issues for older adults and people with physical disabilities. This webinar examines the importance of social connection by:

    • Providing a review of the impacts social isolation and loneliness have on older adults, communities, and programs,

    • Presenting NCI-AD data and how states can use the information, including a closer look at mental health and community participation, and

    • Discussing the response to social isolation taking place at a health plan providing long term services and supports.

    A closer look at select NCI-AD indicators by Black and White respondent groups is also presented. Speakers include April Young, Director of NCI-AD at ADvancing States, Nanette Relave, Senior Director of the National Information and Referral Support Center at ADvancing States, Stephanie Giordano, Director of NCI-AD at Human Services Research Institute (HSRI), and Jodi Fenner, Dir II Product Development, Specialized Programs and Populations, Medicaid Strategy & Development, at Anthem.
