From A Simple smile from a stranger to a hug from a close friend, human social connections power our daily lives, and enable us to thrive. And yet, loneliness is on the rise, taking a real toll on our physical and mental health. In this powerful guide and workbook, renowned mental health expert and addictions counsellor Dr. Bill Howatt exposes the root causes of isolation and loneliness, and shows you how to address each one and develop new skills that foster authentic social connections.

Employers will also find tips for boosting psychological safety among their teams.
