Working in the field of nonprofit organizations that support young people and children, I look forward to the prospect of researchers and the field establishing a mutually supportive relationship and partnership for the future to resolve issues related to isolation and loneliness.
I see this program as a significant responsibility and a huge opportunity to navigate the entire process from the design of the research study to the implementation of the solution model in the community.
Achieving a complete alignment of worldviews between field and research perspectives may be challenging within the research timeframe. I believe, however, that the success of the program will be manifested through the accumulation of valuable insights and a unique form of learning facilitated by connections between various sectors and individual stakeholders along the way.
