On March 29, we hosted our most well-attended Dialogue Nights to date. Called "The Loneliness Epidemic: Can We Talk About It?," it featured more than eighty Boston area students and young professionals who seemed far from lonely as they engaged in passionate, heartfelt conversation from the beginning of the event until long after it concluded. The relevance of the topic for young people today, and their desire and willingness to open up about it, was evident throughout the evening. An icebreaking activity was followed by two in-depth discussions exploring what loneliness means, how it feels, and ways we might overcome it.
