Let’s talk about health. Not the usual stuff like kale smoothies or gym memberships. There’s a growing movement that’s shifting the conversation toward something just as vital: human connection. Yep, turns out that having strong social ties can be just as important for your health as eating well or staying active.
The World Health Organization (WHO) is backing this up with some eye-opening research. They’re championing a concept called Social Prescribing, where doctors and healthcare professionals actually “prescribe” social activities, like joining a club, taking up a hobby, or simply having a chat with someone who cares. Why? Because loneliness is dangerous. In fact, it can impact your health as much as smoking.
That’s where Inclusee comes in. We make connection easy. Whether it’s through learning something new, joining a group, or just having a friendly voice on the other end of the phone, our programs are designed to help people feel seen, heard, and valued. Sometimes, all it takes is one conversation to spark a sense of hope, and that’s exactly what we’re here for.
📊 Why Connection Isn’t Just “Nice” - It’s Necessary
The WHO’s report “From loneliness to social connection – charting a path to healthy societies” lays it out clearly:
Connection isn’t just a warm fuzzy feeling, it’s a public health priority.
🌱 Real People, Real Impact
Inclusee is turning these insights into action. We’re building communities where people feel like they belong, where they can learn, laugh, and lean on each other. And the results speak for themselves.
Take Bob, for example; an 88-year-old legend who was referred to Inclusee by Dr. Shami from Mint Clinic, after she noticed a change in Bob's social habits. Bob’s daughter, Kellie, joined the conversation and shared how the program didn’t just help - it changed his life. That’s the kind of transformation we live for.
