Connected & Well

• Share key findings with community organizations, mental health NGOs, and local social services to highlight rising social isolation and declining companionship.

• Use digestible infographics and social media posts to spur local discussions about the importance of rebuilding social connections in neighborhoods.

• Invite local nonprofits, city governments, and civic groups to endorse a “Reconnect Pledge” that commits to action: weekly social check ins, shared events, or peer mentorship initiatives.

• Encourage participants to pilot low barrier programs (e.g., community potlucks, shared walking groups) in isolation vulnerable neighborhoods and share their impact via public reports.
