When you think about your support system, who comes to mind? Maybe you have a friend who always helps you see the positives in a situation, or a grandparent who you turn to when you have a bad day. Those people are part of your support system. A support system is a network of people who provide you with emotional and practical help. It means you have people that you can rely on. A good support system can help you achieve things you thought were impossible, lower your stress, and increase your self-esteem! You want the right people to be there to help and cheer for you through life. To build your support team, here are some helpful tips:
• Focus on the relationships that offer the most positive but truthful advice and grow those.
• Try new activities alone or in groups to introduce you to fresh faces who may provide a positive influence and keep growing your support.
