Social Health & Connection

SOCIAL HEALTH & CONNECTION

BECAUSE WE’RE BETTER TOGETHER.

Social Connection – The Wellbeing Factor

Social connection is a significant factor in both physical & mental health, as well as in happiness & quality of life.
For example, connection & friendship increase longevity and reduce risks of suicide and substance abuse.
Covid-19 has caused deep isolation and social disconnection. As we recover & build back, we must seek to leave nobody behind.

Building Social Connection

Specific services, agencies & befriending networks work to combat loneliness & isolation. How can we support these?
How might Cork companies play a role in supporting these initiatives?
What else can be done? Note that online & phone connection is still connection, and is important.

Playing our part

How can we come together in WeCanCork to ensure we do the very best that can be done to eradicate loneliness and isolation in our local society?
How can we support existing initiatives, agencies & befriending networks?
What family & neighbourhood actions can each of us take? What systems can we create? What actions must we start?
