Physical changes, limited mobility, the loss of family and friends, and living alone can make it difficult to connect with others as we age. However, there are many ways to establish and maintain close relationships with others. Try engaging with others virtually!

What is social connectedness? Social connectedness is the degree to which people feel they belong and are supported and valued in their relationships with others. People who have close, supportive relationships have been shown to live longer, have less stress, better overall physical and emotional health, decreased feelings of loneliness, and greater quality of life.
