Julie GeBott, BTSS Adult Day Service Coordinator, has been connecting with our Friendship Club members family caregivers to offer support while the center is closed. Here are some suggestions for all to consider.
Well-being may be impacted as our community practices social distancing and we cope with daily changes. With physical distancing we still have the power to remain connected, which promotes well-being. Studies show that connection with others can help your immune system and overall mental health. Communicating daily using FaceTime or other social applications, telephone calls and/or postal mail creates routine, ensures meaningful connectivity, while providing a sense of control in the midst of uncertainty.
Taking micro breaks for deep breathing, observing the outdoors, performing an act of kindness, singing along to a favorite song or finding gratitude, offer us opportunities that ground us, shift our perspective and promote positive self direction.
