@markwyner I think the best strat is focusing on building strong communities.
Helping other people can make you feel empowered, and then the community is that much stronger and able to help you when you're in trouble.
My plan is to get together with a friend and dedicate one morning/afternoon a week to volunteering. I'll know I'm helping folks, I'm having friend time, and I'll be making friends who I can count on if I need it.
Hey friends, Do you want to help with scientific research?
The University of Colorado Boulder needs people to help transcribe bee information from photographs of their collection. You look at a picture and type out any of the written information in the bee's label.
If you've got a few free minutes, give it a whirl! Even just doing 1 or 2 will help
The Zooniverse is the world’s largest and most popular platform for people-powered research.
