National Best Friends Day

June the 8th every year is National Best Friends Day and it’s all about celebrating
the friendships that are so important to us.

A lot of research has been done into the benefits of friendships and how they enrich
our lives, which has gone on to show that strong social support will boost your
happiness, improve self confidence and increase your sense of belonging and
purpose.

As much as our friendships are important in day to day life, they are particularly vital
in helping us deal with life’s traumas such as bereavements, relationship
breakdowns, illness and financial burdens. So go on, send a card or a GIF to those
important people in your life as a little reminder how important their friendship is to
you.

Happy National Best Friends Day!
