Creating a future where social connection is treated as essential to health.
Social Creatures is a nonprofit advancing social health—the well-being that comes from our relationships, connections, and sense of belonging—as a vital pillar of overall health.
Decades of research show that when social health is strong, mental and physical health are too—reducing risks of depression, anxiety, and heart disease while supporting longer, healthier lives.
About Social Creatures
Founded in 2020 during the isolation of the COVID-19 pandemic, Social Creatures was built on a simple, evidence-backed truth: social connection isn’t just nice to have, it’s essential for mental and physical well-being.
We merge science and community wisdom to advance social health for all— creating programs, sharing knowledge, and shaping systems so that social connection and belonging are within reach for everyone, especially those facing the greatest barriers to inclusion and support.
