Build social connections

Humans need social contact. Having good social connections can help you feel better and live a healthier life. These are some ways to meet people and have fun with others.

•  Join a group or class. Book clubs, wood carving, music and hiking are a few options.

•  Get involved. Attend a neighborhood clean-up or gardening effort.

•  Volunteer. A local charity, library or hospital may need your help.
