Note from Dr. Sheers
Join us by celebrating Random Acts of Kindness Week! Acts of kindness can make the world a happier place for everyone. They can boost feelings of confidence, being in control, happiness, and optimism. Acts of kindness may also encourage others to repeat the good deeds they've experienced themselves – contributing to a more positive community.
