The Impact of Social Relationships on Mental Health

Written By The Thought Centre

We all need a hand sometimes.

You are strong.
You are resilient.
You are skilled.

…but you can’t do it all alone.

Human beings are built to be social. Even the most introverted introverts (we see you, hiding over in that corner 👋🏼) need healthy social connections to thrive.

Research shows that quality and quantity of social relationships impact:

  • Mental Health

  • Physical Health

  • Health Behaviour

  • Mortality Risk

What can you do today to strengthen your social connections? Will you give an old friend a call, invite a coworker to have lunch with you, or get the family together for a game night?
