Connect with the people around you your family, friends, colleagues and neighbours.
Spend time developing these relationships.
Good relationships are important for your well being.
They Can:
Help you build a sense of belonging and self worth
give you an opportunity to share positive experiences
provide emotional support and allow you to support others
There are lots of things you could try to help build stronger and closer relationships:
Do
if possible, take time each day to be with your family, for example, try arranging a fixed time to eat dinner together
arrange a day out with friends you have not seen for a while
try switching off the TV to talk or play a game with your children, friends or family
have lunch with a colleague
visit a friend or family member who needs support or company
volunteer at a local school, hospital or community group. Find out how to volunteer on the GOV.UK website
make the most of technology to stay in touch with friends and family. Video-chat apps like Skype and FaceTime are useful, especially if you live far apart
search and download online community apps on the NHS apps library
Don’t
do not rely on technology or social media alone to build relationships. It's easy to get into the habit of only ever texting, messaging or emailing people
think you are alone
