Our Programs

​

West Coast Speaks Health Society develops simple tools and initiatives that make it easier for people to start conversations and build social connections in their communities. Each program takes a slightly different approach, but they all share the same goal: helping reduce social isolation by creating opportunities for meaningful human interaction. 

​

West Coast Speaks collaborates with local cafés, community organizations, and public institutions to create welcoming spaces for conversation.

Programs are open to members of the public and designed to be accessible, welcoming, and inclusive.

 

1. Meet a Stranger Program: Finding commonality through connection, one conversation at a time.

2. Open to Conversation Program: Making it easier to start conversations with strangers, one small signal at a time.

3. Sitka Project: A quiet signal that makes it easier to start conversations.​
