How to tap into the power of community

A supportive community is important for your health and wellbeing.

Communities provide support, connection and a sense of belonging. They come in various forms, from a few people to global online networks. You may already be a part of multiple communities ranging in size and type.

Tips for finding communities that are meaningful to you include:

• Reaching out to friends and family
• Learning about community-based groups within your workplace
• Exploring volunteer opportunities
• Seeking connections through your hobbies and/or fitness interests

Ideally, communities provide a positive space where you are able to express yourself and share your interests with others, empowering you to feel more confident, socially supported and happier.
