Course Description

Meaningful social connections are fundamental to mental health and overall wellbeing, yet many adults struggle with loneliness, social isolation, or difficulty forming authentic relationships. This comprehensive course integrates social psychology research with practical, evidence-based strategies for building genuine connections that enrich your life. You'll learn to distinguish between networking and authentic relationship building, develop conversation skills that create real connection, and navigate group dynamics effectively.

The course emphasizes authenticity over manipulation, providing scientifically-backed approaches to social skill development including vulnerability as a bridge to deeper connections, maintaining long-distance friendships, and creating inclusive communities. Research by Brené Brown and others shows that vulnerability is essential for building trust and intimacy, while understanding group dynamics helps you integrate into existing circles and build new communities that foster positive relationships.

Through 20 structured lessons combining psychological theory with actionable exercises, you'll develop the social intelligence and relationship skills necessary to combat loneliness, build supportive networks, and create lasting friendships. The approach prioritizes quality over quantity, helping you cultivate meaningful relationships that provide mutual support and genuine connection.
