National Best Friends Day

Happy National Best Friends Day! 🌟

In the midst of our country’s loneliness epidemic, we know that deep connections are vital for our individual and community well-being.

I'm grateful to NBC Houston for inviting me to discuss this important topic a few days ago for National Best Friends Day (the “holiday” was on June 8). I shared about the science behind the impact of friendships and offered practical steps for adults to cultivate new connections.

Watch the broadcast here on the importance of friendship on NBC Houston KPRC.
