This Valentine’s Day, loneliness isn’t just an emotion – it can have real, measurable effects on your heart health: raised stress hormones, disrupted sleep and increased risk of heart disease. The good news: Even small moments of connection can help. Walk with a neighbor, take a community class, volunteer, spend time at a shared space like the park or snuggle with a pet. Gi Villavicencio, LCSW and program manager of Behavioral Health at Blue Shield of California, weighs in.

Blue Shield proudly joined @namicalifornia and hundreds of youth from across the state at the 2025 NAMI Youth Advocacy Day at the state capitol. Did you know 94% of youth report experiencing regular mental health challenges each month, and of those who sought professional mental health care but didn’t receive it, 35% said embarrassment was the barrier? Despite these challenges, 63% of youth say they feel hopeful for the future — with many actively engaging in efforts to protect their mental health and advocate for change. The message from our youth is clear: Mental health matters, and stigma must end. Read more: news.blueshieldca.com/2025/12/09/men… #MentalHealthMatters #YouthAdvocacy #EndMentalHealthStigma
