connection starter course

It's time to care for your social health.

Social health is your sense of connection with others.
 

It shapes your wellbeing, relationships and how you move through life. But it’s often overlooked.

 

Loneliness is a signal that your social needs aren't being met. It holds clues to the connection you're missing.

The connection starter course helps you understand those signals and build your own connection plan: your own personal guide to feeling more connected to yourself, to those most important to you, and to your communities.

When loneliness shows up, your connection plan helps you move through it with confidence. You will not stay stuck. You will know what to do and where to start.

 

This isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about understanding how you stay meaningfully connected.

Real. Sustainable. Empowering.

 

You are worthy of connection.

IS THIS FOR ME?

You're experiencing loneliness and social disconnection

You feel disconnected from others, even in social settings. 

 

You could be adjusting to major life transition such as a breakup, loss, relocation, midlife, retirement, or career shift.

You're focused on personal growth

You're engaged in self-improvement or emotional development. You're looking to better understand your personal connection style and communication patterns.

You're from a marginalised or underrepresented community

You feel "different" or unseen in your social or cultural context (e.g., LGBTIQA+, BIPOC, neurodivergent individuals) and want to cultivate connection in an authentic and empowering way.

You're seeking deeper relationships

You want to move beyond surface-level interactions and build more emotionally fulfilling connections with family, friends, or romantic partners.

You're a helper or caregiver

You're a parent, guardian, therapist, social worker, coach, or healthcare professional who wants to model connection and also maintain your own sense of personal connection.

You're a remote worker or digital nomad

You're a professional whose lifestyle limits regular in-person interaction, and you want to maintain meaningful social ties despite distance.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

It works

Others who’ve completed the course report feeling 24.55% more connected by the end.

They also say they feel more empowered to listen to their loneliness — and they have a clear plan to respond with connection when it shows up again.

 

This is exactly what we're meant to do when we feel lonely.
 

Notice it. Understand it. Respond with connection.

are leading groundbreaking work to develop more inclusive ways of measuring loneliness and
connection.

 

Your growth deserves the best — and we’re here to keep it coming.

Not lonely now?

Great. Just like hunger fades when you eat, and thirst eases when you drink, loneliness shifts when you connect.

And just like hunger and thirst, loneliness can return. It's a signal that it's time to connect again.

 

The connection starter course helps you understand how you naturally prefer to connect. So when loneliness shows up, you’ll have a plan to get the connection you need, when you need it.

 

Think of it as a tune-up for your social health.

You're courageous

It takes courage to face loneliness and social disconnection. That kind of courage deserves to be recognised.

We see yours.
 

Just finding your way to this page is a powerful first step.
