Human Connection: Building Relationships for Happier Healthier Lives

Come join us at the St. Thomas Anglican Church for an enriching event focused on the power of human connection in our lives.

As we age, our social circles can quitely shrink. A move, a change in our health, the loss of a loved one, or children living farther away can make everyday connections harder.

Key topics:

How we became a more disconnected sociey and why it shows up in our daily routines.

The costs of social isolation, disconnection, and loneliness

The benefits of human connection for our brains, bodies and communities

Practical strategies to build more connection into daily life, with a take home map of opportunities
