Supporting Social Wellbeing at North East Medical Practice
Social connections are vital for mental health and quality of life. This is why socialization is included in the six pillars of Lifestyle Medicine. At Northeast Medical Practice, we aim to support social wellbeing for individuals facing social challenges.
Difficulty Socializing
Some individuals struggle with social anxiety, communication difficulties, developmental disabilities, or other mental health concerns. These challenges can make it hard to develop relationships, join social activities, and feel fulfilled.
Social isolation and loneliness can negatively impact self-esteem, mood, and overall well being. Seeking help is important for improving social skills and participation.
Our Approach
We start by understanding each individual’s unique situation and goals. We provide:
- Social Skills Education: Learn healthy socialization techniques to apply in daily life.
- Therapy Referrals: Connect with mental health specialists for social skills counseling.
- Group Resources: Help finding local support groups for sharing experiences.
- Communication Coaching: Improve conversational abilities and self-confidence.
- Mindfulness Training: Manage social anxiety through grounding techniques.
With compassionate guidance, Dr. Berger will work to expand social abilities and connections. He is also happy to interact with family members (if permitted by the patient) or outside mental health providers in order to create a holistic approach to this important aspect of one’s lifestyle.
