Mission
To advance global understanding of human connection through interdisciplinary research, policy analysis, and ethical innovation.
To generate data, frameworks, and evidence driven insights that help governments, educational systems, technology companies, and health organizations design policies and platforms that protect, empower, and expand human connection, intimacies, wellbeing, and digital literacy.
We bridge gaps between social work, public health, psychology, technology, AI, and sexual wellbeing industries to produce research and policy that reduces harm, uplifts, and builds an informed digital and relational future for all.
Vision
To establish human connection as a globally recognized pillar of public health, digital rights, and social policy.
We envision a future in which:
- governments adopt comprehensive human connection and health literacy policies,
- tech and AI systems are designed with human centered frameworks,
- human connection industries of digital intimacies, adult media, and sextech integrate evidence based standards,
- schools teach relational and digital wellbeing as core competencies,
- research on human connection is funded, legitimized, and embedded across disciplines,
- and communities can engage in healthy, inclusive, and stigma free conversations about human connection, intimacy, technology, and wellbeing.
