Below you'll find some tips and resources to improve your Social Wellness, check them out.

Community

• Have you found support groups in your area to
connect on important issues?
• Have you made a date with friends for a
movie, dinner, coffee, or other social activities?
• Are you keeping in touch with family or
friends? You can pick up the phone and catch
up if they are too far away—even a phone call
can lift your spirits.

Tips:

• Ask your doctor, a friend or family member, someone
from your congregation, or others in your community
about support groups.
• Look online or in the local paper for groups that share
your interests—whether it’s knitting or playing softball.
• Pick up the phone and connect with others.

New People

• Are you getting out and meeting people
with your same interests? If you like art, try a
gallery; if you enjoy history, visit historic sites.
• Are you open to meeting people from different
backgrounds?
• Have you found a place to volunteer? You
never know who you might meet.

Tips:

• Look in the newspaper to find out what is happening in
your area that could be an opportunity to make friends.
• Keep an open mind and exercise your curious inquiry
when meeting new people.
• Ask in your spiritual community or any other
community about volunteer opportunities.
• Join meet-up groups online.

Social Time

• Do you set aside quality time to spend with
family and friends?
• Are you making time to go to places where
you can meet new people, or visiting a new
location?

Tips:

• Keep track of when you need to catch up with
someone or when a friend or family member is due for
a visit.
• Organize a calendar of events that would be good
ways to connect, or reconnect, to friends, like a public
concert or a class reunion.
