We’re wired to connect, and it’s not just emotional, it’s biological. Research shows that strong social relationships are linked to lower rates of depression, reduced anxiety, better sleep, and even longer life expectancy.
▪️Social interaction helps regulate stress hormones like cortisol
▪️Supportive relationships encourage healthier coping habits
▪️Feeling connected boosts self-worth and emotional resilience
Whether it’s a trusted friend, family member, community group, or mental health professional, being seen and heard matters.
