A DEEP DIVE INTO SOCIAL WELLNESS:
Why It Matters and Why We Built +wellvyl
What is Social Wellness?
In the ever-growing world of wellness, we often hear about mental wellness, physical health, emotional balance, spiritual fulfillment, and even environmental sustainability. But what about social wellness—how we interact, communicate, and exist together as a society?
At +wellvyl, we believe social wellness is the foundation of all well-being. It’s the glue that holds the other aspects of wellness together. Without healthy interactions, strong relationships, and meaningful conversations, personal wellness is incomplete.
So what exactly is social wellness? It’s the measure of how healthy we are in relation to others—our ability to build authentic relationships, communicate effectively, and navigate the world with empathy and kindness.
Why Social Wellness is More Important Than Ever
We live in an era of hyper-connected disconnection. Technology, capitalism, and the fast pace of modern life have created environments where loneliness, social anxiety, and miscommunication are more common than ever.
Studies show that loneliness has the same impact on health as smoking 15 cigarettes a day. The U.S. Surgeon General has declared loneliness a national epidemic, with nearly 70% of Americans experiencing chronic isolation.
We are more informed than ever before, yet we struggle to listen, empathize, and truly engage with others. We scroll through feeds, “like” posts, and follow influencers, but deep, fulfilling human interaction is becoming rare. This is where social wellness comes in.
How +wellvyl is Redefining Social Wellness
+wellvyl was created because we saw a gap—a wellness industry hyper-focused on the individual, while ignoring how we treat each other. We wanted to build something that wasn’t just about personal growth, but about collective well-being.
We started this movement because we knew the way we interact with each other is the root cause of many societal problems. From racism and sexism to loneliness and elitism, all societal ills stem from how we engage with one another.
At +wellvyl, social wellness isn’t an afterthought—it’s the main event. We create real-life spaces, conversations, and experiences where people can connect in a healthier, more meaningful way.
Our Approach: Making Social Wellness a Lifestyle
Unlike traditional wellness brands, we don’t believe self-care stops at yoga, meditation, or working out. We believe in social-care.
That’s why we offer:
- The Social Club – A place for deep connection, safe conversations, and real human engagement beyond networking and small talk.
- Live Experiences – Classes, Events, and Retreats designed for you to leave with at least one genuine, meaningful connection.
- Member Services – Helping people build a healthier social life that fits their values and personality.
- Apparel – Streetwear that carries a message—spreading the movement of kindness, inclusion, and real interaction.
- Media – Thought-provoking content exploring social wellness, communication, and culture.
Credible Partners & Industry Voices Championing Social Wellness
And we’re not alone in this mission. The movement for social wellness is growing, with key research and organizations supporting the cause:
- The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)—particularly SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being) and SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) align closely with +wellvyl’s mission.
- The Social Wellness Institute (TSWI)—a 501(c)(3) nonprofit researching and advancing social wellness strategies.
- The Wellville Foundation—a 501(c)(4) organization advocating for social wellness policies and programs.
- Respected thought leaders and researchers in psychology, sociology, and behavioral sciences who emphasize the importance of human connection in overall well-being.
The Big Picture: Social Wellness as a Global Philosophy
This is bigger than just a movement—it’s a necessary shift in how we live as a society. Wars, pandemics, systemic inequality, and social injustice all stem from broken communication and disconnection.
It’s time we rethink how we define “wellness.” What good is a healthy body, a strong mind, or spiritual peace if we live in a disconnected, unkind, and divided world?
+wellvyl is here to change that. We are not just a brand—we are a cultural shift toward social wellness.
