A screen shot of one of the Six Things Psychologists are talking about this week. It says: 3. Friendships are as Important for Your Health as Romantic Relationships, Experts Say High-quality friendships are essential for both mental and physical well-being. Research highlighted by The Washington Post shows that strong social connections can reduce the risk of depression and even make physical obstacles, like a steep climb, feel less exhausting. Yet society often fails to value these relationships as highly as romantic ones, notes social psychologist Bella DePaulo, PhD. Experts recommend nurturing friendships by being accessible during both good and bad times and practicing the reciprocity needed to build lasting trust.
Friendships are good for you - in addition to their inherent awesomeness.
They're a place where trust and care come together in a special way. They are relationships to nurture.

Our hope is that our guidelines can elevate the importance of #socialconnection to the same level as basic public health practices such as exercising, not smoking and relying on a designated driver when you go out drinking with friends.
