Support for Social Support

Whether when we’re struggling, need comfort, want feedback, etc. Social Support is a big part of what most people want and need. After all, I believe we all need some sort of interaction and connection with others. 

When we think about mental health having support from friends, family, work, etc., it can really affect us in positive ways. Sometimes we will be lacking in some areas of support and other spaces of support can help fill that gap for us. 

Remember that social support can help us through challenging times, help regulate us, make us feel validated, and provide comfort and other wonderful things.

Though it may be hard I encourage you to reach out to those systems of support when you need them and also to maintain and strengthen your bonds.
