Golden Days Radio's Peter Thomas welcomes COTA Victoria's Education & Engagement Manager, Frankie Freeman, to discuss reducing isolation and loneliness.

You can read more about isolation and loneliness here:

• Loneliness: What is it really all about?
• Loneliness: Why are some people more at risk?

There are many community groups that can help you address issues surrounding isolation and loneliness, including COTA Victoria's Older Men; New Ideas discussion groups.

We also recommend services like BeConnected.
