What We Do
The Women's Relational Health Institute is a space for women in leadership who are entrusted with the care of other women. We provide these leaders with trainings, tools, and insights to help them in two ways:
1. Develop stronger connections with the women they serve
2. Develop stronger connections among the women they serve
We work with:
-
Psychologists
-
Educators
-
HR professionals
-
Sorority leaders
-
Pastors
-
Life coaches
and other industry leaders who work in female-dominated spaces.
Through fresh research, evidence-based strategies, certification programs, and timely resources, we help women leaders guide their clients, students, and employees toward more quality connections with themselves and one another-- because our health and happiness depend on it.
Here are the ways we're creating
ambassadors for women's relational health:
Certification
The Women's Relational Health Institute is the first organization to offer a certification program for those who want to master knowledge of the unique ways that women create and maintain platonic connections with one another over time. Become a women's relational health coach to better support the women under your leadership.
Research
With a commitment to sharing evidence-based practices, we turn to the latest data to develop training to help women improve their relational health. This includes communicating directly with researchers, funding research, and conducting our own research. We share these findings through quarterly outlook reports.
Education
We provide training, workshops, and certifications to equip women leaders with tools and insights that will help them better support the women under their care. Educators, therapists, pastors, and other industry leaders turn to us to increase their knowledge about women's relational health so to better equip them for the women they serve.
A woman's relational health is her ability to perceive, form, and maintain healthy platonic relationships over time. And it impacts more than you think.
Heart disease is the leading cause of death in women with 1 in 5 women succumbing to this condition. But new research finds that having close friendships cuts that risk by 30%.
Research finds that 70% of a woman's social network is made up of other women. This is why we believe it's worth learning about the unique ways that women connect, communicate, and engage in conflict.
According to research from the National Institute on Aging, when people experience prolonged loneliness, it's just as physically detrimental as smoking 15 cigarettes a day.
As of November 2024, the Women's Relational Health Institute is currently conducting 4 separate studies to explore the ways that women's connection and conflict impact wellness, work productivity, women in leadership, and anxiety.
