Before the summer comes, it's great for community educators and health care workers to talk about what's coming up in the summer, that people do want to be out more, but how to do that safely, how to do that that meets your own personal needs, because one size of course doesn't fit all. So somebody might be really excited that, oh, I'm going to take a pickleball, or I love fresh vegetables. And somebody else is like, but I don't like vegetables. So how do I eat healthy crackers in the summer? Or I don't want to play pickleball, I'm too hot, I'm sweaty, and I don't like how I look in my summer clothes. So if we're sensitive, then we can look at those pitfalls ahead of time and make sure that it's talked about or supported or there's programs that discuss this and of course having any kind of social media platform for this or discussion group could be very helpful.
