The University of Maryland School of Nursing's Millicent Geare Edmunds Lecture, "Tackling Social Isolation for Marginalized Communities: Learning from the World," will be presented via Zoom from 4 p.m. to 5:15 p.m. Thursday, May 6.
Our donors' generosity allows us to offer this lecture free; nurses and social workers may receive 1 Continuing Education (CE) credit for a fee.
This presentation will explore social isolation and the impact it has on health and well-being. Research shows the impact of social isolation greatly affects people who are disadvantaged because of their race, income, locality, sexual orientation, and gender identity. Pre-pandemic efforts to address this health crisis were emerging but as the virus swept the nation, social isolation became a household word and generated an even more profound effect on vulnerable populations.
