Find ways to support people who’re struggling to maintain social connections

Foster relationships with the older generation
Connecting with different generations of people helps you be more socially active and also allows older adults to overcome isolation. You can join a program or organization that connects you to someone from a different age group for life and career advice. Look out for a nonprofit in your city that provides community programs for older adults. You can also reach out to your grandparents or older relatives by calling or visiting them.

Create a support system for friends who’re new parents
New parents can often feel isolated from the rest of the world because they can no longer engage in their old social routines. If you have a friend who just had a child, support them by creating a meal train or helping them with the infant as much as possible. You can also help new mothers gain access to postpartum resources such as meet-up groups, postpartum communities, and books or podcasts on parenting.
