The Importance of Human Connection and Kindness

The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of human connection, empathy, and kindness for our mental and physical health. Research shows that staying connected through phone calls rather than relying on texting or social media messaging boosts the feel-good hormone oxytocin.
