On social support networks
By Katerina Bohle Carbonell
Three studies on features of social support, and their link to wellbeing and turnover
Key points
- When we lack resources to cope with situations, we reach out to our social support network.
- If people in our social support network do not have the means to help us (time, money, energy, information), we feel helpless, Our mental health deteriorates.
- Thinking about how people in our social support network are related to each other helps create a solid and cohesive social support network.
- Companies should recognize and reward the voluntary support employees provide to each other to reduce turnover intention.

Why did I never think about this before?
Who do I know who's put together a "Community Health Metric" that combines a variety of weighted metrics? I know I've heard a number of folks talking about it over the years, but has anyone actually written one? I'd love to chat with you!#DevRel #CMgr

5. Give back to community
