Mental Illness Counseling
Tired of being told that to stay social, you should schedule a group hangout on Zoom? We hear you.
As important as it is to avoid isolation for your mental health, it's understandable that after months of living in a pandemic, you're starting to tire of your usual routine.
To shake things up, try one of these fun ways to stay in touch with loved ones, without resorting to Zoom or FaceTime:
💙 Join a digital book club.
If you love to read, there are many book clubs run through Instagram, YouTube, or online forums that can help you connect with other bibliophiles.
💙 Watch a movie on Teleparty.
Teleparty is a browser extension for Google Chrome that lets you invite friends to a synchronized long-distance movie night over Netflix.
💙 Send some snail mail.
Now is the perfect time to reconnect with relatives or friends who live far away -- but instead of sending a boring old text message, why not try writing a letter or hand-making a card?
💙 Go for a socially-distanced hike.
As long as it is allowed in your area, meet up with a friend outdoors to enjoy nature and each other's company at a safe distance.
