While we personally commit to finding solutions for a better future we do know that we at FUELhouse can provide a small piece to the puzzle:

The healing power of human connection.

When we feel lonely we feel levels of sadness/pain and we know that loneliness is associated with anxiety, depression, heart disease, obesity, and short of life expectancies.

Right now it's easy for most of us to focus on the things that are not going well. 2020 is proving to be one of the most traumatic years in history.

We are living through a global pandemic unlike any since 1918, an economic collapse unlike any since 1933, civil unrest unlike any since 1968, and the greatest unexpected loss of life since 9/11. The entire country is living, collectively, through four events that, each in isolation, would suffice to make the year darkly memorable. That the four events are being experienced together represents nothing short of a remarkable collective traumatic experience, one with immediate, short-term, and long-term consequences for millions of Americans.
The consequences of traumatic events are pervasive. Traumatic events often result in a sense of a foreshortened future, a loss of hope about what comes next, and a loss of hope that one will have access to life experiences that one otherwise might expect—an education, a fulfilling job. These same traumatic events are associated with a broad range of psychological consequences—including, but not limited to, post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, anxiety, and increased use of substances—and these are in turn associated with a broad range of physical ailments, ranging from heart disease to stroke, from diabetes to cancer. In other words, we are living in a hard moment, one that will have deep and lasting implications for the national psyche and for our national well-being.
It is only through a commitment to finding solutions for a better future that we can ultimately redeem the dark of the present. Nothing can make the great national trauma of 2020 worth it. We shall never recover the lives lost to the pandemic, the futures foreshortened by the economic devastation of the year. And we shall never recover the lives lost to racist structures over the past hundreds of years. But if we learn from the moment—if we find within us the compassion to restructure the edifice within which we live—we shall at least redeem the moment, and create the conditions for there to be light in decades to come.-- B.U Today

While we personally commit to finding solutions for a better future we do know that we at FUELhouse can provide a small piece to the puzzle: The healing power of human or social connection; the feeling that you belong to a group and generally feel close to other people. Scientific evidence strongly suggests that this is a core psychological need, essential to feeling satisfied with your life (B.U Today).

Social connection through fitness improves health and well-being, and:

Leads to a 50% increased chance of longevity
strengthens our immune system (research by Steve Cole shows that genes impacted by social connection also code for immune function and inflammation)
helps us recover from disease faster, and may even lengthen our life
People who feel more connected to others have lower rates of anxiety and depression
People who feel more connected to others have higher self-esteem
People who feel more connected to others are more empathic towards others
People who feel more connected to others are more trusting and cooperative with others
People who feel more connected to others grown more optimistic mindsets
People who feel more connected to others notice an increase in physical energy
People who feel more connected to others and show up around a common goal/a routine feel more grounded, at peace, and more positive
