Mental Health 2
What can you do to improve your mental health?
Connect with other people
good relationships are important for your mental wellbeing because they can help you build a sense of belonging and self-worth. They also give you the opportunity to share positive experiences, provide emotional support and allow you to support others. There are lots of things you could try to help build stronger and closer relationships:
a) If possible, take time each day to be with your family for example eating a meal together.
b) Arrange a day out with friends you have not seen for a while
c) Try switching off the TV to talk or play a game with your children, friends or family
d) Have lunch with a colleague
e) Visit someone who needs support or company
f) Volunteer at a local school, hospital or community group
g) Make the most of technology to stay in touch with friends and family. Video chat apps are especially useful if you live apart.
