So here goes...
The 1st of 4 threads on political attitudes in @ARK_info NI Life&Times Survey #nilt2019 #NILifeTimes @UKandEU

Social connections strengthen our immune system, help us to recover from disease faster, and may even lengthen our life. People who feel connected to others have lower rates of anxiety and depression. Start #RestoringTheBalance this #MensHealthWeek
