Social Wellness
Refers to the relationships we have and how we interact with others
Social wellness involves building healthy and supportive relationships as well as
fostering a connection with those around you. Having a supportive social network allows
you to develop assertive skills and become more comfortable with yourself in social
situations.
Taking time to focus on your social wellness can promote emotional resilience and provide a social network that increases your self-esteem and provides other forms of support.

Questions to ask yourself:
- What or who makes me happiest and why?
- Do I make time to visit with my family and friends?
- Do I express appreciation and affection for people who support me?
- Do I find my relationships to be positive, enriching and authentic?
