Social Support is Important During Extreme Stress

 

• Social support is important for people all of the time; however, it may be even more important for someone during the pandemic crisis because it is a time when people need to feel comforted and safe. Social support through channels such as virtual platforms or the phone can help facilitate this.
  
  
• Sometimes people grow closer during extreme stress. Other times people pull away from their friends and loved ones when they need them the most.
