Social Health Connector is a digital tool from NWD Virginia that anyone can use to reflect on the connections in their life and discover opportunities to improve social engagement. Prioritizing user confidentiality, the tool creates a safe space for people to explore their existing social connections and preferences through a series of open-ended reflection questions. Questions can be answered by an individual, or on behalf of someone else. Upon completing the reflection questions, every user receives a customized Social Health Connection Plan tailored to their needs—uniquely generated by machine learning technology. Each personalized Social Health Connection Plan offers insights into a person’s social health risks and strengths and provides a list of local recommended resources (for Virginia residents). The plan is conveniently delivered as a PDF and can be saved or printed for future reference.
