Being connected is about building and keeping up relationships with other people, especially the ones that you love and care about (for example your friends and family). Connecting with other people is really important for everyone because it helps us:
Build self-esteem
Feel like we belong
Share positive experiences
Get emotional support when needed

There is lots of ideas and suggestions of how to connect with others on this page.
