Kindness Matters at WSES
Join us to celebrate Kindness Week!

kindness

Researchers have found that acts of kindness towards others offer bigger boosts for well-being and mental health. Acts of kindness can make the world a happier place for everyone. They can boost feelings of confidence, being in control, happiness, and optimism. They may also encourage others to repeat the good deeds they've experienced themselves – contributing to a more positive community.
