Why We Exist
We exist to address the issues of social isolation, disconnection and loneliness through the power of human connection.
Social Isolation
To help Canadians better understand the impact of social isolation, the objective state of being disconnected from or having few ties with other people, and it’s impact on our health and wellbeing. Greater understanding is the first step to building healthier connection habits moving forward.
Disconnection
To close the growing sense of disconnection and lack of belonging that affects our society, by inspiring individuals, families, schools, businesses and communities to build healthier connection habits. With opportunities for people to connect, to understand, to build empathy and compassion, the world is a happier and healthier place.
Loneliness
To educate Canadians to recognize the issue of loneliness, the subjective distressing feeling associated with a deficiency in the quantity or quality of social and emotional relationships, in their lives and in the lives of others, and to act as a catalyst that inspires us all to take action to address our social health needs.
