The author of "The Art and Science of Connection: Why Social Health is the Missing Key to Living Longer, Healthier, and Happier," she is a Harvard-trained social scientist, award-winning innovator, and leading expert in social health: the dimension of well-being that stems from relationships. Drawing from over a decade of studying, sharing, and applying the science of human connection, Killam champions social health as a strategic advisor, keynote speaker, and founder of Social Health Labs, a national nonprofit that empowers community builders.

As a sought-after advisor and speaker, Killam partners with teams across sectors to improve well-being through connection and community, collaborating with organizations like Google, AARP, and the US Government.

Her background spans technology, healthcare, academia, and social entrepreneurship, equipping her with unique insight when collaborating with partners. Previously, Killam oversaw a national community engagement strategy for Verily (Google Life Sciences), conducted research on positive psychology at the University of Pennsylvania, and launched a campaign and app to promote empathy and kindness that won an award at Stanford University.

Killam is passionate about translating the research on relationships so people can live more socially healthy lives. Her expertise has been featured in major outlets including The New York Times, Forbes, NPR, Scientific American, Health Affairs, Washington Post, Vox, and Boston Globe, and she pens the Social Health Blog for Psychology Today.

For her dedication and impact, Killam has been recognized as a World Economic Forum Global Shaper, Encore Public Voices Fellow, Columbia University Age Boom Fellow, and Mind & Life Institute Visiting Scholar, and she was invited to the White House during the Obama presidency. Born and raised in Vancouver, Canada, she now calls California home.

Kasley Killam Speaking Topics

  • The Future of Health is Social

    We’re taught from a young age to take care of our bodies by exercising, eating healthy foods, and getting a good night’s sleep. We’re also increasingly better at taking care of our minds by meditating, going to therapy, and doing self-care. But you can do all of these things and still feel unwell if you’re not taking care of your relationships. Kasley introduces the emerging concept of “social health,” sharing scientific discoveries, inspiring stories, and actionable steps you can take to transform your life.

  • A Public Health Lens on Loneliness

    Did you know that feeling disconnected from other people can be as deadly as smoking cigarettes? Why did the US Surgeon General declare loneliness an epidemic and both the UK and Japan appoint Ministers of Loneliness? Drawing expertise from her time at the Harvard School of Public Health and insights from conversations with 25+ experts and 2,500+ community members in 55 countries, Kasley outlines the framework for taking action individually and collectively to create a more connected, cohesive culture.
