GenWell Connection Compass

Introducing the GenWell Connection Compass: A Tool for Everyday Social Health

At GenWell, we’ve always believed that human connection is a fundamental need—vital to our mental, physical, and societal well-being. Today, we’re proud to introduce a new tool designed to help Canadians recognize the many ways they can foster social connection in their everyday lives: The GenWell Connection Compass.

Developed over the past several months with thoughtful input and practical insight, the GenWell Connection Compass is a simple yet powerful visual that reminds us that connection is all around us—if we choose to see it and act.

Whether it’s:

• Reaching out to an old friend,

• Saying hello to a neighbour,

• Starting a conversation at school or in the workplace,

• Or engaging with someone new in your community,

…the Compass offers a clear guide to help all of us take small, meaningful steps to support our social health—every single day.

For some, the Compass may affirm what you’re already doing right.
For others, it may be the spark that inspires new action.
And for many, it may open a new lens—awakening a deeper understanding of the many opportunities for connection that surround us daily.

Whatever your starting point, our hope is that the GenWell Connection Compass empowers more Canadians to take their social connections seriously—and to recognize their role in building a more connected Canada where everyone thrives.
