Rethinking Loneliness: Introducing Reciprocity
Manage episode 518675082 series 3637489
In this real-time update episode, Stacie shares what’s been happening behind the scenes at The Human–Canine Alliance—from exciting app demo progress to a key fundraising milestone and global momentum in how loneliness and mental health are being addressed.
At the heart of this update is a powerful new lens: reciprocity. Inspired by Dr. Robert Zarr’s work on social prescriptions, we explore how wellness isn’t just about treatment—it’s about connection, shared purpose, and evidence-based, community-rooted care.
Plus, hear how Manulife, one of Canada’s largest health insurers, has become the first in the world to support a national nature prescription program, validating the global shift toward non-clinical interventions for mental health.
If you’ve been following TH-CA’s journey—or are just tuning in—this episode will bring you closer to the movement and the momentum behind it.
