WHAT IS AVAILABLE LOCALLY
Social support and connectedness provide opportunities for emotional understanding, problem solving and acceptance, all of which help us to cope. Getting involved in local activities, groups and clubs can be a great way to contribute to your local community, meet new people and therefore, improve our ‘social wellness’.
In fact, those who socialise with others tend to live longer than those who prefer to isolate themselves. Positive social habits can help you build support systems and stay healthier mentally and physically.
