"Once you begin thinking about it, there are numerous opportunities to make Personal Safety Nets work within your own life and the lives of the people you love." James J. Marshall-Ward, Executive Director, Rosehedge/Multifaith Works.
Is Having A Personal Safety Net Really Worth It?
Q. Is having a Personal Safety Net really worth it?
A. Yes, absolutely! Research has shown that, if you do, you'll most likely:
- be happier and healthier.
- recover more quickly after illness or surgery.
- experience less pain.
The 2000 Census showed that one in four households consists of a person living alone. The number of Americans having either no confidants or just one has doubled since 1985, to 43%! Much of the resulting isolation can be minimized through a personal safety net that focuses on health and healthy activities, with a variety of people holding various corners. Strong personal safety nets are not just for adults. Adults can set an example for children that may reverse these isolating trends.
