In the session "Connectedness: Cultivating Meaningful Social Connection," participants will explore why human connection is essential for physical and mental health, happiness, and resilience. Through discussion and practical activities, attendees will examine the variety of social relationships, ranging from family and friends to workplace and community ties, and learn to identify common challenges that can hinder meaningful connection. The session will guide participants in applying accessible strategies to nurture and expand their relationships, overcome barriers, and create action plans for personal, professional, and community environments. Emphasis will be placed on how consistent habits and simple acts, such as regular check-ins and expressions of kindness, can sustain and strengthen social bonds, ultimately supporting lasting wellbeing.
