✅ Take time each day to reach out to family and friends. This could be arranging to go for a walk together, a telephone call or text, or a video call with loved ones who you cannot meet in person.
✅ Join a local community group, sports team, or hobby group to find other like-minded people with similar interest to you.
✅ Volunteer for a local charity to meet new people, support others and your local community.
✅ Build up digital resilience to help recognise and manage the risks you may come across when you socialise, explore, or work online. This is achieved primarily through experience, rather than learning and is fostered by opportunities to confide in trusted others and later reflect upon online challenges.
✅ Reach out to those that may be at increased risk of isolation and loneliness, this could be offering a neighbour a cup of tea or checking if they need help with anything.
