FEELING Isolated

SOCIAL DISTANCING IS HARD BUT NECESSARY!

In times when we are being asked to stay home, we find ourselves and our families struggling for the natural desire to socially interact. As humans, we thrive on social interaction! So what can we do in these times of quarantine to keep our minds balanced?

• Chat with others virtually!!

  • if you have access to the internet, phone, computer, tablet, or other smart devices then you can chat!!

    • use traditional phone calls, facetime, googlehangout, zoom, skype. These are just a few examples.

    • Stay social even during social distancing! Read below for some ways to stay social during social distancing!
