Social Health Report
Social Health is the ability to form healthy relationships with others and feel supported in daily life. In other words, connection and community.
We believe in a data driven approach and what measured gets done. As such, we engaged our research partner, truwind to create a social health research report by surveying the population on the state of social health in New Zealand. 1142 people were surveyed across New Zealand.
Below are the interesting stats from our first Social Health Report.
26%
of us feel somewhat unsocial and isolated
22%
of us have no one we can talk to about personal problems
8%
of us have no one who will drop everything and help in a time of need
41%
of us don't
belong to any groups or club
What would help us to be more sociable?
We asked an open-ended question about “what would make you more inclined to be more actively social and connected”. Below are the top 3 themes to emerge.
118

“more friends and like-minded people”
103
people said
“more time, less work, & a better
work-life balance”
