Today is International Mother Language Day. Language is such a big part of connecting with others and today is one the days where we are especially aware of this. Are there any words in your Mother Language that are extra special to you? #connection #socialconnection #loneliness

Talking to a stranger might seem scary but it's worth it. Whether it's greeting someone on the train, making small talk with someone at reception, or reaching out to a neighbour you haven't talked to before, talking to a stranger can be a source of joy for you and them! Thank you to GILC member, GenWell, for reminding us of this! #connections #socialconnection #loneliness #talktoastranger

We love the idea behind No One Eats Alone Day and it's one we can all take into our daily lives. Whether it's at school, work, or at home, inviting people to sit together over a meal is a wonderful way to connect to others. Food and connection are a powerful combination.

Earlier this week, I had the privilege of participating in Utah's aging symposium, "Aging with a WISE Purpose," alongside Governor Spencer Cox and Intermountain Health President and CEO Rob Allen. Despite being the youngest state in the nation, Utah is experiencing rapid aging, presenting both challenges and opportunities for our community. Governor Cox highlighted the significant impact of our retiring baby boomers and the need for collaborative efforts to support this demographic. A key focus of the day was addressing the critical importance of social connection as we age, which can have a detrimental effect on health when it is lacking that is comparable to smoking 15 cigarettes a day. As I shared, "What I have found over and over again was that people simply did not recognize how important our connections are for our health. We need to take social connections just as seriously for our health." Although loneliness touches us all, as we age making social connections can become challenging and the profound consequences can build over time. For more information on the symposium and our discussion, you can check out the following article: KSL.com: https://lnkd.in/gYjJxn6H ·? Let's continue to work together to create a more connected and healthier society! Thank you to Governor Cox for having me! ???? #SocialConnections #Health #WellBeing #Aging
