Everyone needs support and people that they can turn to in hard times. Social support system refers to a network of people – friends, family, and peers – that we can turn to for emotional and practical support.
Here are some ideas for where to build a social support system: volunteer, take up a sport, participate in a book or game club, meet with your neighbors and coworkers, use online resources.
You may not have to look too far to build your support system. Try to enrich your current relationships by: showing appreciation, staying in touch, be available when someone needs you, celebrate their successes, and keep lines of communication open.
