Social Connections 

Strong social connections are vital for both mental and physical health. Staying connected with family, friends, and your community can reduce stress, lower the risk of depression, and even improve heart health and immunity. People with supportive relationships tend to recover more quickly from illness and enjoy a better quality of life. At our practice, we encourage patients to nurture meaningful connections as an essential part of their overall wellbeing. 

In the local community there are many groups which run regularly which you can get involved in.
