SOCIAL HEALTH

Social relationships affect our mental, behavioral, and physical health. Social self-care involves fostering positive relationships, providing and seeking emotional support, and using social networks to socialize from a distance, hopefully strengthening relationships.



  1. Face-to-face interactions are indeed the cornerstone of deep, meaningful connections. However, when physical proximity is not feasible, leveraging video apps can be a practical solution to maintain a sense of presence and connection.

  2. Nurture your relationships: Relationships require ongoing care and attention. Taking time to listen, show empathy, and participate actively in each other's lives strengthens bonds and contributes to emotional well-being.

  3. Practicing small acts of kindness can have a profound impact on our relationships. Whether it's a simple gesture or a thoughtful deed, kindness can enhance mood, reduce stress, and foster a positive atmosphere in our connections.

  4. In today's digital age, maintaining relationships requires effort and creativity. Sending a heartfelt note or message to a loved one can make a significant difference, showing that you care and providing a much-needed boost of positivity and emotional support.

By prioritizing positive relationships, seeking and providing emotional support, and maintaining beneficial and essential practices for our connections, we can effectively practice social self-care—their overall mental, behavioral, and physical health.
