We are Social Creatures…
A nonprofit social innovation and research organization on a mission to promote overall health by cultivating socially connected, inclusive communities.
#ThriveWithSocialTies
At Social Creatures we believe that social ties help us thrive. Research supports that social connectedness not only promotes happiness, but also physical health and well-being. Whether it’s a family member, friend, mentor, or clinician….it only takes one meaningful connection to light up someone’s world. Our mission is to ensure any individual can connect with others, no matter the circumstances.
What We Do
EDUCATE. Social Creatures offers free educational & actionable resources grounded in the science of social connectedness. Check out The Creature Times for expert articles, and follow us on social media for more educational content.
ADVOCATE. Social Creatures champions populations most vulnerable to social isolation by raising public awareness around social connectedness inequities & rapidly mobilizing solutions to bridge equity gaps.
INNOVATE. Social Creatures’ Social Innovation Lab brings academics and communities together to co-design scalable, equitable, and impactful social connectedness solutions.
