Using mindfulness to help with stress

There are plenty of ways to connect nowadays, but that doesn't mean we don't feel lonely sometimes. Loneliness is on the rise for many people. Making meaningful connections with others can help. Even small steps add up to help you feel more connected and less lonely.

Getting help with mental health

If you’re struggling with difficult thoughts or feelings, have a conversation with your doctor. They can help you find the support you need and connect you to the appropriate care. 

If you need help before you can see your doctor, don’t wait. At Kaiser Permanente, many mental health and addiction medicine resources are available without a referral. We'll help you understand your options and connect you to the support you need.
