Give someone a hug.

Say “I love you” or “I appreciate you” when saying good-bye.

Step 3: Tag the Next Person!
Tag someone else! Pass the "Tag You're It" card to the nest person, encourage someone else to take action, and keep the cycle of connection going.
Why Connection Matters for Men
The loneliness epidemic is hitting men especially hard. Human nature thrives on relationships, but for many men, disconnection starts young—taught to suppress emotions and "tough it out" alone. While embracing masculinity is linked to positive mental health, any rigid or unrealistic expectations placed on men can lead to stress, isolation, and burnout. Sharing experiences with others helps balance life’s highs and lows, reducing stress and strengthening mental resilience. It may feel unfamiliar at first, but role-modeling emotional openness as adults helps younger generations develop coping strategies and healthier ways to navigate challenges. Connection isn't just beneficial—it’s essential.
