What is The Kindness Project?
Together, we will:
- Encourage community members to engage in acts of kindness towards one another
- Raise awareness about the positive impact of small acts of kindness on our mental health and overall well-being (it’s scientifically proven!)
- Create a sense of interconnectedness and support within the community
Kindness Counts –
It’s Scientifically Proven
Science shows that when we are kind to others, both parties experience real and tangible benefits. Kindness lowers stress, releases happy chemicals in our brains, and helps build stronger communities.
So let’s start sharing kindness:
For Yourself
For a Friend or Family Member
For A Charity
As A Random Act of Kindness
