Americans Feel Increasingly Alone Despite Craving Connection, New Survey FindsApril 22, 2026 9:30 AM
Business Wire
Research reveals a ‘Disconnection Dilemma’ as more people choose isolation over conflict, despite a growing desire for community.


Many Americans say they want stronger connections in their lives but are also pulling back from relationships in ways that leave them feeling more disconnected, a new nationwide survey found.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260422939515/en/
Commissioned by Talkspace and conducted by Talker Research, the survey of 2,000 U.S. adults identifies a ‘Disconnection Dilemma,’ a growing trend where the desire for community is being undermined by increased rates of “going no-contact" as well as isolation to avoid difficult conversations.



Nearly three-quarters of Americans (73%) say they are more likely to distance themselves from a friend or loved one during difficult moments rather than communicate to resolve issues.



More than one in three Americans (38%) say they’ve gone “no contact” with a friend or family member in the past year — a figure that rises to 60% among Gen Z.



68% say they struggle to build in-person community, and (47%) say they experience loneliness during a typical day.



Mental Health Awareness Month highlights the need for connection


With Mental Health Awareness Month starting in May, the poll brings renewed attention to how relationships can shape our mental well-being. Social isolation and loneliness put a person at risk of developing serious mental and physical health conditions, the CDC warns.


“These results suggest that avoiding relationship challenges is becoming more common, but that approach can come with its own risks, making it harder to sustain meaningful connections over time and leading to more loneliness," said Dr. Nikole Benders-Hadi, the chief medical officer at Talkspace. "Prioritizing communication, setting healthy boundaries, and staying engaged even when it’s uncomfortable can help people preserve the relationships that support their mental wellness.”


Technology is making it easier to opt out of interaction


The survey also found that reduced interaction extends beyond close relationships and into daily life, with many Americans turning to technology to limit in-person contact.



68% use online ordering, self-checkout kiosks (64%), and chatbots/automated help systems (42%) to reduce their interactions with others.



40% say they would rather cross the street than stop and talk to someone they know.



37% will pretend to take a phone call to avoid small talk.



A widespread desire for connection remains


Despite these trends, many Americans say they want stronger connections and more community in their lives.



Nearly one-third (31%) say they want to become more involved in local community-building and activities.



Barriers to these social connections include social anxiety (30%), preferring to spend time alone (30%), or feeling like they don’t fit in (26%).



When asked what defines a healthy relationship, respondents pointed to emotional safety and mutual support — such as feeling comfortable expressing their thoughts and opinions (47%) and feeling seen and understood (41%).



The launch of Connection is Crucial, Talkspace’s 2026 Mental Health Awareness Month campaign, celebrates the power of interpersonal connections and shares expert advice on how to strengthen bonds for improved mental well-being.


See here for a deeper look at the Talker survey results.

Universal Health Services, Inc. to Acquire Talkspace, Inc.March 9, 2026 7:39 AM
PR Newswire (US)

Industry-leading virtual behavioral healthcare platform accelerates outpatient strategy with expanded access to careKING OF PRUSSIA, Pa. and NEW YORK, March 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Universal Health Services, Inc. (NYSE: UHS) announced today that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Talkspace, Inc. (NASDAQ: TALK) for $5.25 per share. The enterprise value for the transaction is approximately $835 million, which UHS intends to finance with borrowings pursuant to its existing revolving credit facility.







Talkspace is a leading virtual behavioral healthcare company, with a network of approximately 6,000 licensed professionals that serve all 50 states, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico. As of December 31, 2025, Talkspace's services were available to more than 200 million individuals through their health insurance plans, employee assistance programs, or as a benefit through their employer, school or government agency. Talkspace generated $229 million in revenue and provided more than 1.6 million therapy and psychiatry sessions in 2025."Talkspace's patient-centric, clinically driven virtual platform perfectly complements the high-quality services delivered at our facilities, enabling us to expand access and offer more flexible, stepped solutions to address the growing demand for behavioral healthcare," said Marc D. Miller, President and CEO of UHS. "This acquisition aligns with UHS' core growth objectives by accelerating our outpatient and telehealth behavioral health strategies, diversifying our payor mix and delivering a comprehensive, technology-enabled continuum of care that supports innovative approaches to mental health services.""Over the past several years, Talkspace has transformed from a direct-to-consumer pioneer into a scaled, insurance-covered behavioral healthcare platform trusted by patients, providers, payors and employers," said Jon R. Cohen, MD, CEO ofTalkspace. "This transaction reflects the next logical step in expanding access to affordable, high- quality mental healthcare by integrating outpatient virtual care into a modern behavioral health ecosystem."Strategic and Financial BenefitsTalkspace's 6,000 providers and trusted virtual behavioral health platform will support the creation of the industry's first nationally scaled, end-to-end continuum in behavioral healthcare. These new capabilities deliver a patient-centered virtual offering that facilitates seamless transitions across care settings and improves access for payors and consumers alike.Excluding one-time costs related to the acquisition, the transaction is expected to be slightly accretive to UHS' adjusted net income attributable to UHS per diluted share (as defined below) duringthe first twelve months post-closing and increasingly accretive thereafter. The acquisition broadens UHS' access to commercially insured populations nationwide, serving to diversify payor mix while laying a scalable platform for sustained growth through expanded and new outpatient and virtual behavioral health services.Transaction Timing and ApprovalsThe transaction was unanimously approved by the respective Boards of Directors of UHS and Talkspace.The transaction, which is expected to close during the third quarter of 2026, is subject to approval by Talkspace's stockholders, satisfaction of regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.Webcast InformationUHS management expects to discuss the acquisition during its presentation at the Leerink Partners Global Healthcare Conference on Monday, March 9, 2026, at 8:00am ET.
