Youth loneliness is when young people feel lonely or disconnected, even if they’re not physically isolated. It often happens due to introversion, or social anxiety, etc.
Research shows that young people aged 18 to 24 are the loneliest age group in our society. This isn’t just about feeling isolated; loneliness can severely impact both physical and mental health.
At this stage, three methodologies were employed. Relevant information was gathered from social media platforms, collecting data from 15 people. An online survey was then used to find participants, followed by an interview with one person.
The stakeholder map identifies several challenges faced by different groups supporting young adults. In the middle of the map is young lonely people. Youth organisations and charities may struggle with a lack of funding, limiting their ability to provide essential services and support. Parents, peers, and local citizens might lack awareness of youth loneliness, while mental health clinics and the NHS might not able to tailor their services to meet the diverse needs of individuals.
The most important aspect of the value flow mapping is the interaction between young lonely people, therapists, and psychotherapists with “My Product.” Young lonely people receive emotional support and personalized strategies, while therapists and psychotherapists gain access to their clients’ emotion reports.
The flow between the well-being center and its customers further enhances the support system by offering therapy sessions and fostering a sense of belonging.
