Creating Environments that Foster Social Connectedness Among Adults with Arthritis

Evidence suggests that a lack of social connection is associated with poorer health. This webinar will provide states, national partners, and their partners with strategies to incorporate social connection as a component of arthritis public health efforts. Attendees will hear examples from Building Resilient and Healthy Communities (BRIC) to create a systems approach to social connection, learn strategies that delivery organizations have taken to create environments that foster social connectedness, and hear how states are leveraging partnerships to implement interventions from a policy, systems, environmental change, and programmatic lens. Additionally, participants will be able to interact with peers, share best practices, ask questions, and gain new tools and resources to apply to their arthritis work.
