Healthy friendships can reduce stress, reduce social isolation, increase your sense of belonging and provide emotional support.
Reach out to your friends often, even if it's just a text to share a joke. Make sure your friends know that you are there for them, as well as sharing your needs.
Come out to a community hosted evening, a sporting event or an organized class to make new friends.
You could:
• Sign up for an art class
• Exercise at a recreation centre
• Get involved with a local not-for-profit
• Attend a local festival
• Skate at your neighbourhood rink
• Attend a book club
• Sit at a meditation centre
Eastwood Community League encourages friendship and community building. Watch our website and Facebook page for events and opportunities.
