Lyra Health

Let's talk about friendship. Friendship isn’t just for childhood—our mental health depends on it at every stage of life. As adults, forming new friendships can feel daunting with packed schedules and fewer opportunities. Yet friendship remains essential, and with a few intentional steps, building meaningful connections is possible. ✨ Opportunity: Put yourself in situations to meet new people. ✨ Time: Think about each hour you spend with a potential friend as an investment in your well-being. ✨ Quality: Make your reactions meaningful, and be fully present. Research supports these steps for fostering new relationships and strengthening existing ones. These strategies can help you create friendships that boost your mental health on #WorldMentalHealthDay and every day. https://bit.ly/4dmajIl
