Welcome to theRed Thread R&B Alliance
About Us
The Red Thread R&B Alliance was founded in 2023 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the World Health Organization’s declaration of the “loneliness epidemic” as humanity’s most serious health crisis. The Alliance promotes grass-roots solutions centered on small-group social connection skills and personal resilience training. By integrating public health principles, cutting-edge neuroscience, wisdom traditions, and nature-based activities, we have developed effective community programs to combat isolation and build lasting resilience.
