imPAW Universe Kiko & Friends: Hey! Just Checking In

Do you ever think about a friend you haven’t connected for some time or a buddy who’s going through challenging time and you keep meaning to call or text them?

Yup, me too. Checking in with your friend, whether it’s because you want to have a serious conversation, or you just want to catch up and stay connected, can have life-long benefits.

That's right...friendships require maintenance By making effort and letting them know you're thinking of them, you’re letting them know you value them, which strengthens that lifelong friendship bond.

Also the more socially isolated we become, the harder it is to open up and show vulnerability. Openness and transparency are vital to personal mental health and wellness.

So give your friend a call and just check-in! This artwork is Day 5 of 10 to speak about wellness and care with loved ones, friends, colleagues, acquaintances. Who's your favorite person to call?
