What a morning of connection!💛 This morning, in partnership with our series sponsor Meta, we hosted our first Big Chat of the year on Good Connections. Big thanks to our expert speakers who shared their insights and tips on connection: 💛 Dr Marlee Bower from Matilda Institute at University of Sydney talked about the importance of connection on our physical and mental health (isolation is just as bad for our health as smoking, alcoholism and obesity), the cost of isolation ($2.7bn/year!) and what we can collectively do to create a better future for social connection. 💛 Marcus Watson, CEO of BackTrack Youth Works shared how BackTrack creates connection through belonging, mastery, generosity, independence - and dogs! 🐶 So inspiring hearing about how their unique and effective ways are helping keep kids alive, out of jail and chasing their hopes and dreams. 💛 MITCH WALLIS, psychology thought leader and founder of Heart On My Sleeve took us through his science-backed 5 step model for having REAL conversations with so many useful tips on how to have meaningful connection in moments that matter. Thank you everyone who joined us this morning, Meta for hosting and our MOOD crew for serving us tea with meaning.
