Abstract | Humans are particularly drawn to social connections. Prosociality in times of loss and separation require intervention designs aimed at reinforcing social bonds to help those grieving. Pro-social behaviors reinforce social support, contributes to resilience, and promotes mental health, overall wellbeing and quality of life. This review summarizes multidisciplinary evidence from literature showing emerging trends in prosocial behavior, loss and separation research with adaptive pro-social interventions to promote resilience contributing to mental wellbeing and quality of life outcomes. A summary of research findings showing the digital transformation to promote pro-social behaviors for mental wellbeing is provided. Finally, new and classic evidence of prosocial behaviors for adaptation and resilience in the community is discussed to promote future prosociality in loss and separation. |
