Learn how to get online
Getting online and using the internet to connect with family and friends can feel very daunting for people who aren’t digitally confident. It can be a source of stress, but staying in touch with the outside world at this time can have huge benefits for our mental health.
There are many organisations who have created guides on using the internet and platforms that can keep us in touch with our loved ones. These are specifically for older people or anyone with limited digital experience as well as helpful hints and tips for family and friends to help this learning process. Please see some useful and helpful links below:
