NJ Spotlight News special episode: A Matter of Faith

Loneliness has been recognized as a public health crisis. It exists everywhere and is far more common than many will admit. In this intimate series, host Manya Brachear Pashman, an award-winning religion reporter, explores what it means to feel alone and how faith, religion and spirituality are driving both the science of belonging and the surprising ways that people are forming meaningful bonds. Through candid conversations with medical professionals, community builders, and members of the clergy, the program unpacks isolation from multiple angles and offers solutions to help navigate loneliness, find connection, and help people feel seen again.
