Social Wellness

Social

"Social wellness" is the ability to relate to and connect with other people. It involves developing and building close friendships and intimacy; practicing empathy and effective listening; and caring for others and for the common good, while allowing others to care for you. Can you maintain positive and meaningful relationships with family, friends, and co-workers?

Tips for Social Wellness

Practice self disclosure.
Get to know your personal needs, and pursue things and people who nurture those needs.
Contact and make a specific effort to talk to the people who are supportive in your life.
Join a club or organization that interests you.
A few strong friendships can be more fulfilling than a large group of acquaintances. Laughter really is a good high.
