Can loneliness, lack of connection and community increase risk of depression for middle schoolers?

One of the leading causes of depression is lack of community and connection.
This is why I teach my pre-teen and teen clients how to connect, make friends, and step by step, how to make plans with friends, after giving them a foundation of self esteem.
This is one of the important things we work on in 𝐔𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐘𝐨𝐮: 𝐀 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐦𝐩 𝐄𝐱𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐌𝐢𝐝𝐝𝐥𝐞 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐥 𝐆𝐢𝐫𝐥𝐬
