How do you strive to build connection and belonging amidst the epidemic of social isolation and/or loneliness? Take a 5 minute break and be refreshed through watching CircleTalk in action and know that you can be a part of this! It's so easy to build the group environment for others to feel seen, heard, and known using the tools that Deborah Skovron had the insight to build 13 years ago. Over the last year, it's been a joy to deeply experience social care and partner with her to continue to grow the CircleTalk legacy under Telligen and into the future as we ALL identify ways to come to rescue with this epidemic of disconnection. Consider if CircleTalk by Telligen is a program that you would like to weave into the fabric of your community's physical, mental, and social healthCARE environment and then send me a private message here or an e-mail at mkoob@telligen.com and I'd be glad to talk to uncover how we can link arms to achieve results together. It's as simple as identifying who would like to champion leading Circles, getting them trained and the Curriculum in their hands, and then those trained leaders spending 1 hour per week conducting the Circles. From there, sustainable connections and new ways of caring is what will unfold. It's such a low cost for priceless outcomes like this: "I have known many of my friends for 50 years and more. I feel like I know these people in the Circle better—and I just met them!” – Ruth, 85 Fun fact: over 450 individuals have been trained internationally to conduct Circles - across the U.S., in Canada, Australia, and South Africa. We use universally-relatable themes in CircleTalk. Let's work together to scale the impact! Everyone deserves to, and can, belong to something. #belongingmatters #connectionmatters #socialhealth #wecanmakeadifference Deborah Skovron Laura Mankin Susan Buchanan Sarah Fixmer Post Amanda Baker

Some great insights from Charles de Vilmorin on blazing trails, taking risks, and creative innovations to keep residents safe while protecting their autonomy and maximizing their wellbeing and quality of life.

Education is a fundamental right for youth globally. It is a powerful tool for youth empowerment, it offers a pathway to personal growth, professional development, and societal contribution. For young people to achieve this, there’s a need for collaborative efforts to ensure that young women and men have access to free, equitable, and quality education. However, In our quest for academic excellence, let's not overlook the vast pool of talent waiting to be discovered beyond the confines of textbooks. Many youth feel left out and marginalized in society because they perceive themselves as not fitting the conventional definition of "book smart." This perception often hinders them from exploring and nurturing their innate talents and ideas. It's essential to recognize that intelligence comes in various forms, and success is not limited to academic achievements alone. By embracing a broader definition of intelligence and success, we can create an environment where all youth feel valued and empowered to explore their unique strengths and passions.
