Isolation and Being Covid-Conscious

Are you feeling isolated due to your precautions against Covid and other airborne viruses?

Youโ€™re not alone with this, there are so many people struggling with feeling lonely and left behind by friends and family. It can be so hard feeling like you need to rebuild your life, trying to find people who share your values and understand you.

Building community is so important and also possible. Some ideas:

๐ŸŒŸ Refresh Connections app – for connecting to people for friendships and relationships. There are often useful links to other groups in their Refreshments section.

๐ŸŒŸ Still Coviding groups on Facebook, there may be one local to you. If you’re in the UK, Still Hardcore Coviding UK is worth a look. Still Coviding in Style is a friendly, joyful group sharing people’s outfits including masks.

๐ŸŒŸ Reddit has various Covid-conscious communities, including ZeroCovidCommunity

๐ŸŒŸ covidmeetups.com is quieter than it used to be, but there are still groups organising Zooms etc on there and you may find links to useful Discord servers.

๐ŸŒŸ Mask blocs and clean air organisations – lots of these are on Instagram and there may be one local to you. Some of them are listed on maskbloc.org.

๐ŸŒŸ There’s also my upcoming therapeutic support group – find out more here.
