What does it mean to create a personal safety net?

It’s the process of building caring relationships with people you know want to “be there” for you. As you build and openly value these relationships, you create a sense of security, knowing you have them there for you and you will be there for them. Together, whenever there is a need, you will form a care-share team to address it. The security that having a personal safety net provides, reduces fear and anxiety and thereby strengthens individuals, families, and communities.
