How Does Connection Impact Wellbeing?

Show NotesIn this episode we explore what science tells us about the role of human connection, and ask why some people feel lonely even when surrounded by others. Can introverts benefit from social connection? What challenges do pharmacists face in staying connected—and how might that affect their mental health and performance? We also look at how technology, peer support, and workplace culture can influence our ability to build meaningful relationships, and ask what practical steps can help those feeling isolated reconnect with others.Resources Exploring our social circles webpage: https://pharmacistsupport.org/i-need-help-managing-my/family-life/exploring-our-social-circles/Improving social skills and connections webpage: https://pharmacistsupport.org/i-need-help-managing-my/family-life/improving-social-skills/ Staying connected with others webpage: https://pharmacistsupport.org/i-need-help-managing-my/family-life/staying-connected-with-others/Building positive workplace relationships webpage: https://pharmacistsupport.org/i-need-help-managing-my/work-life/building-positive-workplace-relationships/The Science Behind Wellbeing workshop: https://pharmacistsupport.clcmoodle.org/local/roadmaplogin/login.php  How we can help including counselling and peer support: https://pharmacistsupport.org/how-we-can-help/Podcast sponsorshipThis podcast has been sponsored by pharmacy publisher, events and awards organisers PharmacyShows.co.uk, enabling us to further our mission to support the wellbeing of our pharmacy family.Help us to support more of our pharmacy familyPharmacist Support relies on generous donations to provide our charitable services and support.
