Social Connection


 When we feel disconnected from others, we're more likely to experience negative emotions like loneliness, anxiety, and depression.

 A person reaching out to a friend for help.

 But when we reach out to others, when we make an effort to connect, we're more likely to experience positive emotions like joy, love, and belonging.

A person surrounded by friends and family, smiling and laughing.

Social connection isn't just a nice-to-have. It's a need-to-have.

 A group of people gathered together, arms around each other, looking happy and connected.

So reach out, connect, and experience the power of social connection in your life
