Better Together: A Joined-Up Psychological Approach to Health, Well-Being, and Rehabilitation
For decades, psychology focused on the individual. But what if the real key to health, well-being, and rehabilitation isn't inside your head—but in the people around you? This video dives into the groundbreaking research from 'Better Together: A Joined-Up Psychological Approach to Health, Well-Being, and Rehabilitation,' edited by Dónal G. Fortune and colleagues. We explore how social identity, group membership, and community support can outweigh genetic predispositions, transform recovery from addiction, and even shield against burnout. Discover why feeling like you belong might be the most powerful medicine you never knew you had.
