Relationships are central to well-being and a vital pillar of the PERMA-V model. Meaningful connections with others provide love, support, and belonging, all of which nurture happiness and resilience. When we experience trust and compassion in our relationships, we feel more secure and valued.

Positive relationships are more than companionship; they serve as a buffer against life’s challenges, offering encouragement during struggles and celebration during successes. Strong social ties are linked to better mental health, longer life expectancy, and greater life satisfaction.

Building and maintaining healthy relationships requires empathy, communication, and investment of time and energy. In PERMA-V, relationships not only enhance personal well-being but also create a ripple effect, uplifting families, workplaces, and communities. By fostering genuine connections, individuals build a foundation for thriving lives and shared growth.
