Did you know that performing acts of kindness is good for your mental and physical health? Among the many benefits, practicing kindness:

• Minimizes stress and improves depression
• Boosts happiness - for both sides!
• Reduces blood pressure and improves heart health
• Contributes to our sense of community and belonging - important protective factors! - which are key contributors to a healthy, longer life

It also encourages empathy, which something we teach local youth and families through our new, all-encompassing program, Engaging Hearts and Minds.

Learn more about the health benefits of kindness from this CNN article and from the Random Acts of Kindness Foundation, where you can also find more resources on practicing kindness!
