Why is the work we’re doing important?
Isolation poses mental, emotional, and physical risks for humans. It leads to loneliness, depression, anxiety, and cognitive decline. Social isolation is linked to physical ailments and higher mortality rates. Human connection provides support, stimulation, and a sense of belonging essential for our health and happiness.
Guiding grown-ups as they reengage with play, curiosity, and creativity provide opportunities to shake off the isolation that constantly tries to work its way in.
We believe stories make us human. From stories that squeak to stories that roar, each person and community has a story that ties us together.
Finding Human Project firmly believes in cultivating safe and collaborative spaces for all.
Our core beliefs are:
Compassion is our cornerstone
Play belongs to people of all ages
Curiosity is a human right
How We Guide:
Curiosity drives all we do.
