Health is also social. Friendship, family, partnership and community influence how we handle difficulty, celebrate progress and seek care.

Practices of connection

Be specific

Ask for a conversation, a walk or a practical kind of help.

Listen longer

Understanding does not require immediate solutions.

Keep boundaries

Care can include a clear limit and a respectful no.
