In the fast paced world qualities such as kindness can be overlooked, but research indicates that showing and receiving kindness support a lift in mood, making us feel happier and reducing anxiety. This presentation looks at the research and the benefits of being kind, what you can do, what the obstacles may be and the positive impact of volunteering. It includes links to videos, with timings so you can ascertain if they fit with your timing schedule. There are also optional discussion points and links to further reading and sources. The Teaching Notes include a link to duplicate a quiz on Forms to discover students attitudes to kindness and there is a printable exit ticket to go with the plenary slide.
This is part of our Making Safe and Healthy Choices series. This resource would also fit with World Gratitude Day on 21 September
