Staying Connected
Social distancing is necessary, and everyone should be taking it seriously whether they are immunocompromised or not. But that kind of isolation can be damaging to our mental health. Take the time to connect with others around something other than the news!
How do you stay connected with others while practicing social distancing?

So many of the workout studios I frequently visit have been going virtual with online yoga/pilates/barre classes! It's so great for my body and mind and makes me feel like I'm moving with someone. It's a great option for me to not go completely stir crazy.
Also, virtual "happy hours" with friends is so fun. It's a great way to just catch up and laugh a bit 😀
Virtual happy hour is a great idea! I'll definitely be doing that with my friends.
Lately, I have just been FaceTiming a lot, texting and making phone calls to keep in touch. Thankfully, we at least have technology to keep us connected.

I love this question as I'm continually looking for new answers. I agree, I've been doing a lot of video calls - facetime and zoom, working/having "meetings" via zoom, and taking my daughter to virtual music class - all within the confines of our home! Last night we did a zoom game night with some friends and played quiplash together while also seeing each other on the screen. It worked pretty well!
Can't wait to see what other suggestions people share!
Warmly,
Amanda (team member)Virtual game night is such a nice idea! My and my partner caught up with a couple of friends yesterday via Facebook messengers video tool! I havent used it before, but it had some little games you could play during the call - like catching flying burgers in your mouth! Unexpected fun haha!
We hve decided next tme we catch up we will all sit down with coffee and cake 😀
