When You Connect You Protect
FREE WEBINAR
When You Connect, You Protect: facilitate friendships to improve mental health.
Free webinar on March 25 or March 28 from 1:00-2:00 PM Eastern Time
According to the National College Health Assessment half of students are lonely at any given time. This is doubly concerning because loneliness is fueling the current mental health crisis. Fortunately, the reverse is also true. Having positive relationships protects against depression, anxiety, and suicide. When you connect, you protect!
And, helping students connect in meaningful ways—and facilitating friendship—is easier than you might think! The difference between loneliness and connection is developing 5 fulfilling friendships. This webinar will show you how to do that, with actionable strategies you can apply immediately.
The webinar will:
Give a quick snapshot of current data on the relationship between loneliness, connection and mental health.
Describe the active ingredients that create connection (a.k.a. The Friendship Formula) and how they can be used to make friends in a fraction of the time.
Provide an overview of ProjectConnect, an evidence-based program that offers a step-by-step roadmap for creating connection (as featured in the Inside Higher Ed articles, Building Community and Belonging, All Eyes on Loneliness, and Adding a Human Touch to the Virtual Classroom.

“I struggled a lot with connection at college, and ProjectConnect was so meaningful to me. Not only did it allow me to connect with the other students in groups I was facilitating, I became close with the other facilitators. I’ve seen the good ProjectConnect can do and felt it myself. All that to say, thank you! This program helped me during a hard time. ProjectConnect rocks!”
