The event hosted by the Mental Health Foundation, has the theme this year of Kindness. Important now more than ever as we navigate the Covid-19 crisis.
The organisations Chief Executive Mark Rowland explains how the theme was chosen:
“We have chosen kindness because of its singular ability to unlock our shared humanity. Kindness strengthens relationships, develops community and deepens solidarity. It is a cornerstone of our individual and collective mental health. Wisdom from every culture across history recognises that kindness is something that all human beings need to experience and practise to be fully alive”.
Research from the Mental Health Foundation has shown that; kindness and our mental health are deeply connected. Being kind to ourselves as well as one another, can help create a sense of belonging and increase our optimism. Kindness could transform our schools, places of work, communities and families and help tip the balance in favour of good mental health for everyone.
