The Human Connection Movement, making the world a happier and healthier place one face to face conversation at a time!
About us
GenWell, a registered Canadian non-profit since 2016, is Canada’s Human Connection Movement. Our mission is to create a happier and healthier world by educating, empowering, and catalyzing Canadians about the importance of face-to-face social connection as a proactive step we can all take for our health, happiness, longevity and the betterment of society. We achieve this on a population level through our website, daily social media presence, media outreach, and seven annual catalytic campaigns designed to encourage Canadians to reach out and get connected face-to-face for their own health or the health of others. These campaigns are strategically timed throughout the year, targeting key moments, specific population segments or occasions, which ensures that everyone in Canada can benefit from the reminder, excuse, and permission to get connected. At the grassroots level, we deliver interactive and engaging social health programs in workplaces, schools, community groups, municipalities, and senior-focused organizations. These programs raise awareness about the increasing challenges of social isolation, disconnection, and loneliness and their effects on both individual and societal well-being. We conclude by highlighting the power of human connection as a proactive step we can all take to enhance health and happiness, not only for ourselves but also for those around us.

Looking for a last minute way to celebrate St. Paddy's Day with your friends and family ☘️ St. Paddy’s Day is all about fun, laughter, and bringing people together. Here are three ways to celebrate while strengthening social connections: 🎨 Shamrock & Rainbow Paint Night: Gather your friends and get creative with St. Paddy’s-themed paintings. Think four-leaf clovers, leprechauns, and colorful rainbows! 🎬 Green-Themed Movie Night: Host a cozy night in with classic Irish or St. Patrick’s Day movies. The catch? Only green snacks allowed! Think guacamole, green popcorn, matcha treats, and shamrock-shaped cookies. 🥗 Lucky Potluck: Invite friends and family to bring a dish, but there’s a twist, everything has to be green! From pesto pasta to spinach dip, the possibilities are endless. No matter how you celebrate, make this St. Patrick’s Day about connection, laughter, and good company! 💚 #GenWell #StPatricksDay #ConnectAndCelebrate #LuckyToHaveYou
