Support Your People
Webinar Series
Conversations about building effective human support systems.
The Support Your People Webinar Series brings together practitioners, researchers, thought leaders, and people with lived experience to explore how we can build stronger human support systems in our workplaces and communities.
Each conversation looks at a different part of the picture; from the extraordinary benefits of human connection and workplace culture to peer support, leadership, implementation, research, and the effectiveness of systems that help people access support when they need it.

The Benefits of Human Connection on the Human Condition
Wed, September 9, 2026 1:45pm ET
When people feel supported and connected, organizations are better positioned to strengthen wellbeing, engagement, retention and workforce resilience. So how do we build workplaces that make that possible?
In this first episode of the Support Your People Webinar Series, we explore the human side of support: why people may wait to reach out, what can make support feel easier to access, and the extraordinary benefits of an effective human support system.
