Create a community.

Create a community—a network of relationships—and you’ll feel better throughout your life. Get to know the children and adults in your neighborhood. Meet other parents at your child’s school and get together once a month or so to talk about parenting. Organize activities at work that bring people together. Get involved with your faith community. Offer to help a co-worker, neighbor, or friend. Donate your time to a community organization. Become involved in activities that bring younger and older generations together. Be the person who brings people together in your extended family.
