Social support networks are really important for helping people handle tough times. They give us emotional help, useful information, and practical advice when we need it.

Studies show that people who have close friends and family are:

• 50% more likely to get through difficult situations
• 30% less likely to feel depressed

Having supportive relationships makes us stronger by:

1. Giving us comfort
2. Sharing helpful tips for coping
3. Helping us solve problems

In the end, having social support can greatly improve our ability to adjust and succeed in life.
