How To Build Meaningful Connections

Social Wellness – The Third Pillar of Health

We all know about physical health. We all talk about mental health. But there’s a third pillar of health that often gets overlooked: social wellness.

In 2023, U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy declared loneliness an epidemic. Studies show that a lack of social connection has ramifications across longevity including a raised risk of heart disease, stroke, dementia, anxiety and depression.

The evidence is clear: our relationships are not a luxury- they’re a necessity.
