Kindness isn’t just “being nice” — it’s a powerful force for healing and connection
Kindness Day UK – November 13th
Kindness isn’t just nice—it’s powerful. Acts of kindness for others can reduce stress, anxiety, depression, and loneliness, while boosting wellbeing. In workplaces, a culture of kindness improves relationships, health, and safety.
For those in emotionally demanding roles, seeking support through supervision, reflective practice, or therapy helps maintain resilience. And don’t forget self-kindness—it strengthens self-awareness, acceptance, and emotional wellbeing.
This Kindness Day, think about how you can show kindness—to others and yourself.
