Weekly Wellbeing - Staying Socially Connected During Coronavirus
A lot of us have been missing our usual social connections as we all do our part to #flattenthecurve in these weird times.
Thankfully, there are a lot of fun ways to improvise with technology and stay connected with your friends and family - ReachOut got together with Flex Mami to make this video, which is full of different ways to stay socially connected, even when you're physically apart.
"This is a confusing time for everyone, but it’s never been more obvious that we’re better together"
This community has also been a really powerful reminder of how connections can be so strong and meaningful even when you can't be physically together - most of us have never met face to face, but come together to share and support each other.
We'd love to hear what you've been doing to stay socially connected at the moment- have you tried any online games? Is HouseParty your thing? Have you started writing letters and cards to loved ones? Have you hosted a Zoom dinner party?
I am planning a virtual games night with some friends this weekend, and we had a Zoom birthday party for my little dude the other week. It's not quite the same, but it's amazing how connected you can still feel.
It's also important to remember that some of these things don't work for everyone, and that's okay too - have you come up with any different ways of staying connected that work for you?
