A4 I make myself available and do what I can to show the people I work with that I care about them beyond our work in physical therapy, but I'm not sure I do enough to facilitate social connections in the community/with others - good gut check with this question #PopHLTHchat
A3 I think about those that have many relatives, family and friends living abroad and how social media esp video chat are a great tech advance invaluable for these folks. They would love more face to face but $ and again #SDOH. #PopHLTHchat
A3: I think social media can be a great place to start new connections but I think there's tremendous value in following that initial interaction up with conversations and connections outside of the SoMe context #PopHLTHchat
@perry_brubaker This is where my mind went, too! It could also be an opportunity for vulnerability, openness, and connection if the couple is open about fears related to being in different stages. Talking about the disconnect could facilitate connection and behavior change over time #PopHLTHchat
A2 if those close to you have different health behaviors, ideally you can start a conversation - with open discussion there's sharing of viewpoints and beliefs and maybe even the possibility of changing those behaviors #PopHLTHchat
@sunsopeningband@TheAPHPT Very helpful peer support communities out there for people with diabetes. There is nothing like establishing relationships with people who understand the challenges you may face, priceless! #PopHLTHchat
A1 Having people who care for us and who we care for creates a sense of community and accountability - without these relationships it's hard to rise to daily challenges and struggles #PopHLTHchat
@TheAPHPT A1 having a sense of belonging and people, or pets, who care about and understand you provides a reason to strive for good health. #PopHLTHchat
A1: Still just monkeys as far as our hindbrain is concerned. All the tweets in the world don't mean anything when you get a hit of oxytocin from hanging out with your buds. Tribal creatures through and through. #PopHLTHchat https://t.co/6pYgcMmn2j
