We all know the importance of taking care of our bodies by exercising, eating nutritious foods, and getting a good night’s sleep. We also know the value of taking care of our minds by meditating, going to therapy, and doing self-care.
But have you noticed that you can do all of these things and still not thrive if you don’t have strong relationships?
I’ve been studying, sharing, and applying the science of human connection for over a decade and I’m passionate about creating a more socially healthy world—starting with you and me.
What is social health?
Social health is the dimension of overall health and well-being that comes from connection and community. Whereas physical health is about your body and mental health is about your mind, social health is about your relationships.
What does it mean to be social healthy?
Strong social health includes having meaningful relationships and feeling supported, valued, and loved. It varies from person to person—discover what it looks like for you!
Every single person has a fundamental need for connection and community.
Too often we feel disconnected—spending more time with characters on shows than our friends and family. Living in neighborhoods without knowing any neighbors.
Or we feel hyperconnected—scrolling mindlessly online instead of engaging meaningfully in person. Too busy for solitude to connect with ourselves.
