From November 24–30, GenWell is inviting 41 million Canadians to better understand the science and benefits of talking to strangers and to give it a try for the first time, or do it more often than you do today. Research shows that talking to strangers can make us happier, more optimistic, trusting, and connected. It strengthens our sense of safety, belonging, inclusion, and community, things we could all use a little more of in our post-pandemic world. Will you be part of the solution to a more connected Canada? Visit https://lnkd.in/dvEm9mUK to explore the science, share your story of connection, and find tips, tools, and inspiration in our TTASW toolkit. See a few sample pages from our toolkit below! Help us spread the word by sharing this post with your network or community.
