Provides an understanding of the importance of social connection to our health and wellbeing, and shares strategies to improve this. 

As humans, we are wired to connect with others. Never have we been so connected to others, constantly in contact through technology and yet never has our society been suffering so much from loneliness. Covid is adding an extra layer of stress when it comes to the quality of our relationships with our family and others.

This webinar explains our physiological need to connect with others in a meaningful manner, and informs how we can bypass the barriers we are currently facing, including the pandemic and also lack of time & guilt. The webinar shares tangible strategies to begin to build stronger, more enjoyable social connections and more meaningful relationships, including the concept of presence and making time, kindness and compassion, nourishing activities and how we can build meaningful relationships at work.

Participants will leave the webinar with an understanding of the importance of prioritising our connection with others to enhance our health and wellbeing, along with ideas for how to overcome obstacles to achieving this.
