The Science of Social Connection & its Health Benefits
Details
Come be part of a community of individuals and families who value people more than beliefs. Some have said it's like going to a Ted talk with live music every Sunday. We meet at 11 AM Mountain Time in the Parker Theatre Studio at 3601 State Street, South Salt Lake. We would love to have you join us for some great topics and socializing!
We are excited to have Dr. Lisa Diamond speak to us on the topic of:
Coming Here is Good for You! The Science of Social Connection & its Health Benefits
Dr. Lisa Diamond is Distinguished Professor of Psychology and Gender Studies at the University of Utah, and past-president of the International Academy for Sex Research. She received her Ph.D. in Human Development from Cornell University in 1999 and has spent nearly 3 decades studying the development and expression of gender and sexuality across the life course. Her current work focuses on social safety (unconditional social connection, protection, and belonging) as a primary driver of health and well-being among sexually-diverse and gender-diverse (i.e., LGBTQ+) individuals across the lifespan.
