Social Connections Learning Series Part 2

Social isolation is a public health crisis! The environments we create and interact with fundamentally affect our mental, physical, and societal health. In fact, loneliness and isolation increase the risk for individuals to develop mental health challenges in their lives, and lacking connection can increase the risk for premature death to levels comparable to smoking daily. So, what can we do about it?

Join us at the Shadle Library to discuss the importance of creating safe, healthy environments and the positive health impacts they have during childhood and across the lifespan. This free workshop will address how environments influence the wellbeing of parents/caregivers and children 0-5 years old. The HOPE (Healthy Outcomes from Positive Experiences) Framework will be used as a guide to identify bright spots in our community and opportunities to create spaces that will allow families to thrive.

Lunch will be provided. Registration is required.
