Social Creatures is a nonprofit organization reimagining health through the lens of connection. We’re dedicated to advancing social health—the quality of our relationships and community ties—as a fundamental pillar of well-being, alongside physical and mental health. Through education, advocacy, and innovative, evidence-based programs, Social Creatures is working to reduce isolation and foster community for individuals of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds.

Our flagship programs, Bonded by Baby and SitGrit Fitness, put this mission into action. Bonded by Baby supports new parents by connecting them to a social safety net of fellow parents through healthcare-embedded group sessions and personalized care. This program fills a critical gap in typical postpartum care by addressing the social and emotional needs of new parents, especially those at risk of feeling isolated.

SitGrit Fitness provides free, seated, group fitness classes led by expert trainers for individuals with physical disabilities. Designed for individuals of all mobility levels, SitGrit promotes both physical health and social connection, creating a community space where participants can thrive.

Together, our programs demonstrate that fostering social health can transform lives, building a more inclusive and connected world.

Research shows that social health directly contributes to our mental and physical well-being, making it as essential to our overall health as physical and mental wellness themselves. As loneliness and social isolation are increasingly recognized as serious public health concerns, Social Creatures is empowering individuals, families, and communities to build stronger, more supportive, and inclusive connections. By prioritizing social health, we strive to make a tangible difference in people’s lives, addressing a core need that enhances mental, physical, and overall well-being.
