What a great interview - and a new book on my 'to read' list! We know that social connection is crucial for well-being, but there's not a lot of focus on it. As individuals there are things we can do and as Councils there are places we can provide and groups we can support to enable greater connection and well-being. It's the 'soft' stuff that often misses out in budget discussions when people find it easier to talk about more tangible projects. David Robson: Social connection and health

When Dr. Homer Yabut was asked for his recommendations or advice for individuals experiencing transitional stress, this is what he answered. What was remarkable in his insight is that it stands out for its compassionate approach to addressing transitional stress.

What better way to convince people that psychological science is relevant for physical health than to talk about it on the news? Thanks WCCO | CBS News Minnesota for giving me that chance last Sunday! Super stoked to talk with Susan-Elizabeth Littlefield about how to break through the stigma that "in your head" means fake -- when in fact EVERYTHING is from your brain, because it is all brain based. We even had time to talk biofeedback and needle fears. It was a packed 4 minutes! Check out our clip - link in the comments! Curious or want to learn more?

Stacker stories tied to an upcoming (or ongoing) news event consistently overperform against pickup and unique reader benchmarks. Because we know how much our newswire subscribers value this content, our team has done a ton of work to create, source, and schedule these stories. So I was thrilled to browse the wire this morning and see so many evergreen stories tied to events in the news. Here’s a smattering of what’s been published just in the past 72hrs: 👨🎓 "Famous students protests around the world," a photo-rich piece from the Stacker newsroom 🧠 "5 ways to improve your mental health during Mental Health Awareness Month" and "5 great momcation destinations to visit in 2024," both courtesy of Stacker Connect partner Way.com 🐩 "What makes a Westminster Best in Show winner, based on a century of data," from Stacker data editor Emma R. 🏇 "6 popular Kentucky Derby traditions explained," from OLBG With such a large and diverse publishing network (3,000 publishers and counting!) we find that publishing stories about a week before a major event works best.

This gives our evergreen pieces a long half-life where each publisher can choose when to publish the piece based on their own content strategy. 👀 Interesting in subscribing or contributing to the newswire?
