Social Relationships: Key to a Happy and Successful Retirement
with keynote speaker Julianne Holt-Lunstad, Brigham Young University
Decades of evidence have accumulated pointing to widespread health impacts associated with social connection, or lack thereof. Social connection has been widely assumed to be a personal issue primarily associated with emotional well-being, underappreciating the mental, cognitive, and physical health ramifications. While the pandemic raised awareness, it simultaneously revealed gaps in our understanding on what to do about the issue. Dr. Holt-Lunstad’s presentation will be followed by a panel discussion featuring retired faculty and staff from across the U.S. and Canada, and will include Dr. Louise Nasmith of the UBC Emeritus College.
