WHO Commission on Social Connection Panel

Amber was invited to join a panel discussion hosted by Ending Loneliness Together exploring the WHO Commission on Social Connection's landmark report on loneliness and its global significance. The panel featured remarks from The Honourable Ralph Regenvanu, WHO Commissioner on Social Connection, and The Honourable Ged Kearney MP, Assistant Minister for Social Services and Prevention of Family Violence, alongside WHO Technical Advisory Group members Associate Professor Michelle H Lim from Australia and Professor Naoki Kondo from Japan. Amber contributed as a youth practitioner working directly in the loneliness and social connection space through SAYF's multi-year research partnership with Flinders University, bringing the lived experience and community-led perspective to an otherwise predominantly academic and government conversation.
