About Us
Since its founding in 2018, the Foundation for Social Connection Action Network, formerly the Coalition to End Social Isolation & Loneliness, has been advocating for policy change that addresses the adverse effects of social isolation and loneliness. The Action Network represents some of the most influential consumer groups, patient advocates, health plans, community-based organizations, behavioral health groups, and private sector innovators in the United States, all who share a mission to create a more socially connected nation. Through disseminating research findings and leading public awareness campaigns alongside its sister organization, the Foundation for Social Connection, and advocating for legislative and regulatory interventions, the Action Network envisions a society where every individual will one day have the opportunities and support necessary to be socially engaged.
Our Mission
Our mission is to convene and activate diverse stakeholders to design and advocate evidence-informed public policies that address social isolation and loneliness and advance social connection for all.
Our Vision
A vibrant society where social connection is at the heart of public policy and how we live.
