Social Support

There are a number of ways to increase social support
Identify hobbies or activities that the person used in the past or would like to develop now, then help the person locate and contact groups in the community that are involved in the same activities
Church activities are a place to access people with similar values
Churches usually have systems to help with transportation if that is necessary and frequently have activities every day of the week
