Abstract
The pandemic highlights loneliness as a major mental health risk. We engaged lonely parents (N=40) in a remote open trial lullaby-creation intervention. Participants reported significant improvements in loneliness, belonging, depression, anxiety, and parent-child connection from pre-intervention to one-month follow-up. Findings demonstrate the potential for remote music programs to address loneliness.
