How to Prevent Loneliness in a Time of Social Distancing

How to Prevent Loneliness in a Time of Social Distancing Anonymous (not verified) Mon, 09/21/2020 - 16:20

"How to Prevent Loneliness in a Time of Social Distancing" from Scientific American

Face-to-face from afar: The next best thing to in-person interaction is video chat, because facial cues, body language and other nonverbal forms of communication are important for bonding. When possible, opt for video over messaging or calling and play around with doing what you would normally do with others. For example, try having a digital dinner with someone you met on a dating app, a virtual happy hour with friends or a remote book club meeting.

One-minute kindness: Getting lots of likes on a social media post may give you a fleeting hit of dopamine, but receiving a direct message or e-mail with a genuine compliment or expression of gratitude is more personal and longer lasting—without taking much more time. When you find yourself scrolling through people’s posts, stop and send one of them a few kind words. After all, we need a little extra kindness to counter the stress and uncertainty of the coronavirus.

Cultivate your community: The basis of connection is having something in common. Whatever your niche interest is, there is an online community of people who share your passion and can’t wait to nerd out with you about it. There are also digital support groups, such as for new parents or patients with a rare disease. Use these networks to engage around what matters most to you.

Deepen or broaden: Fundamentally, there are two ways to overcome loneliness: nurture your existing relationships or form new ones. Reflect on your current state of social health and then take one digital action to deepen it—such as getting in touch with a friend or family member you haven’t spoken with in a while—or to broaden it—such as reaching out to someone you’d like to get to know.

Use a tool: Increasingly, apps and social platforms are being designed to help us optimize our online interactions with loved ones, including Ikaria, Cocoon, Monaru and Squad. If you do well with structure, these resources may be a useful option for you. Or you can consider using conversation prompts, such as TableTopics or The And, to spark interesting dialogue during a video call.

Buff Pantry is official open (free food) Anonymous (not verified) Thu, 09/10/2020 - 14:11

The Volunteer Resource Center is excited to announce that the Buff Pantry is official open in the University Memorial Center room 139 (next to Jamba Juice). The Buff Pantry is the first food pantry on campus for ��Ҵ�ý�ƽ�� students. All graduate and undergraduate students are invited to visit the Buff Pantry at no cost to receive food on a weekly basis, if needed. To access, students will need to complete the following steps:

· Before the first visit to the Buff Pantry students will need to complete the Buff Pantry Client Intake Form to tell us a little bit about their needs and to sign up for a timeslot to pick up the food. At the date and time selected students willstop by the Buff Pantry in the UMC to pick up their food and resources.

· For return visits to the Buff Pantry students will just sign up for a timeslot to pick up food and resources. If all timeslots are filled please email food@colorado.edu and we can determine if we can make an extra bag based on available food.

Students will receive up to approximately 20 pounds of food and are able to visit the Buff Pantry one time per week. Food selection will vary based on availability. The Buff Pantry is part of our larger Feed the Stampede food assistance program.

The Buff Pantry is located on the first floor of the UMC 139, next to Jamba Juice, and is open Tuesday - Thursday, 11:00am to 7:00pm.

Questions? Visit our website or email food@colorado.edu. You can follow us on social media @CUVRC for more updates and information.

Thank you!
