Reach Out & Reconnect

Reach Out & Reconnect

Make an intentional effort to reach out to a friend or family member.

It can be as simple as:

• Sending a quick text or email 
• Sharing a sweet memory or a funny story 
• Asking how they have been & really listening 

Why this helps mental wellness

• Social connections can help reduce stress & anxiety by providing a support system & encouraging healthy coping 
• Reconnecting with friends, family, or community provides a sense of belonging, which can boost self-esteem & reduce feelings of loneliness
• Engaging with others can release endorphins, leading to improved mood, increased happiness, & a sense of emotional balance 

Easy starter messages you can use 

• “Hi there! I just thought of you today! How have you been?” 
• “I saw this & it reminded me of you!” 
• “Hope you are doing well! What’s something good in your life right now?”
