#31 - Dr. Kiffer Card - a Glimpse into the Upcoming Social Connection Guidelines for Canada

Rediscovering Connection with Shelley Doyle

Dr. Kiffer Card is a dedicated researcher focused on the social and environmental factors that shape our human health and wellbeing.
Kiffer is the Scientific Director for the Canadian Alliance for Social Connection and Health, the Director of Research for GenWell and serves as an Assistant Professor within the Faculty of Health Sciences at Simon Fraser University.
In this episode of Rediscovering Connection, we explore the genetic roots of loneliness and social connection, the potential of psychedelic medicine as a game-changer, rejection sensitivity, positive gossiping, the power of friendship groups, and self-determination theory for successful relationships.
Drawing on our personal experiences, and decades of research in the realm of social connection and relationships, we share practical strategies for combatting loneliness and enhancing connection with friends, neighbours and co-workers.
This was one of my favourite conversations so far on this Podcast and I am glad to be able to share it with you.
