How to enjoy the health benefits of community

Your social health is just as important as your physical and mental health. Building strong connections with other people will help improve your social health and can help you experience a supportive network and feel fulfilled in this area of your life.

A great way to create connections is to become involved in your community. There are lots of ways to do this, including

• Volunteering at a local shelter, charity shop or food bank
• Joining a community garden
• Attending local charity events
• Organizing community events
• Getting involved at your local schools

Doing things for other people doesn’t just benefit them; it benefits you too! By involving yourself in these types of activities and events, you’ll feel more confident and satisfied. You’ll get a sense of fulfillment and pride knowing that you’re making a change in your local community.
