Dr Julie Radlauer-Doerfler | The Power of Courage for Connection

And while there's much truth to this, there is no doubting the profound scientific data highlighting just how critical social connection is for all aspects of our health. It’s in our bones. We are wired to connect. Here with Dr Julie Radlauer, we discuss the social influences of mental health - namely Social Connection • Social Support • Social Capital • Social Media • Social Justice. Knowing these social influences isn't hard, but navigating and implementing them isn't always easy, and so Julie provides us science-based insights and actionable steps to help us support ourselves and others.
