This week we’ve talked about your health – both mental and physical. But part of health is healthy relationships. Maintaining your relationships while also keeping distance can be a challenge.
- The University of Nevada Las Vegas has a solid introductory guide on how to stay social while still social distancing – like make sure you balance your social media with real contact through phone calls and video chats.
- The University of Maryland Medical System goes into some specific technologies you can use to maintain connections while keeping physical distance, like Skype and Zoom Meetings.
Realistically, this situation may be difficult to handle on your own. That’s totally understandable, and there are professional resources that can help.
- Psychology Today has an introduction to the idea of therapy, including a search for your local area for professionals you can reach out to via email or telephone.
- As always, if you experiencing severe distress you can contact (in the U.S.) the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. For Canadians, reach out to Crisis Services Canada.
