Welcome to SOCAH

At the Society, Connectedness, and Health (SOCAH) Lab, we believe that research is more than just data. It is about people, stories, and the connections that shape our world.

This space was created to serve as a living journal of our work, our insights, and the questions that drive us. We are researchers, educators, community builders, and lifelong learners who believe that the places we live, the people we love, and the beliefs we hold all play a vital role in our health and well-being.

Through this blog, we’ll share reflections from our team, highlight the work happening in our lab, and explore what it really means to live in a connected society. From community-based research to conversations on spirituality and health equity, this will be a space where thought and heart come together.

Whether you are a fellow researcher, a student, a community leader, or simply someone curious about how social connection impacts health, we are so glad you are here. We hope these posts not only inform you but also inspire you to think about your own community, your own story, and the ways we can create change together.

This is only the beginning.Let’s build a healthier, more connected world together.
