Author Lance Reynard spoke about long-distance friendships and said, “ True friends stay with you no matter the distance or time that separates you from them”.
We all have gone through times when some of our closest friends had to move away from us for work, school, or personal situations.
Despite such situations, some friendship bonds surpass geographical boundaries, time, and distance and remain untouched.
Constant communication and regular check-ins help us preserve these beautiful bonds of friendships and improve our overall mental well-being.
Today, we want to talk about how you can support your friends who are dealing with mental health issues despite being far away from them.

Make Use Of Technology
Video Calls, Messages or Voice Notes are fun ways to stay in touch with your friends despite your busy schedule. These regular check-ins help your friends feel supported during difficult times.

Share Daily Moments
You can share pictures from your day out or a fun activity you participated in. Or send a voice note about a funny encounter you had today. Sharing small details helps strengthen emotional connections between friends.

Self -Care But Virtually
You can participate in virtual yoga or meditation classes with your friends. You can listen to a podcast together or follow an online beauty tutorial during a video call. These self-care activities can help you and your friends unwind after a long day and promote overall well-being.
