We are social animals and we need contact with other people to thrive. How much contact we need will vary between us, but the quality of our interactions with each other matters.
Join a group: it could be your local sports team, book club, choir - whatever interests you most!
Organise a baby photo competition with friends or colleagues – match the person to the baby!
Take opportunities to connect, build, broaden, and strengthen relationships. Spend time with your friends, family and others around you. Even small interactions can make us feel better.
Social media can help you to keep in touch with others when meeting in person is difficult. However, too much screen time can detract from the quality of our interactions with other people. Finding a balance is important to build connections which will support and enrich your every day life.
Connect with others by joining community groups in your local area.
