GIVE TO OTHERS

As we now know research suggests that acts of giving and kindness can help improve our mental wellbeing by creating positive feelings and a sense of reward, giving us a feeling of purpose and self-worth and helping us connect with other people


It could be small acts of kindness towards other people, or larger ones like volunteering in your local community but they can all help us improve our mental wellbeing. Why not try


  • Saying thank you to a friend
  • Calling an old friend
  • Buying a drink for the person behing you in a cafe queue
  • Saying hello to someone
  • Writing a letter to someone
  • Volunteering
  • Learning first aid
