Wellness Wednesday Tip - Kindness

APRIL 21, 2021 -- Kindness. We can all likely think of things each day that we say or do that are acts of kindness, but why does kindness matter to our mental health and well-being?

Kindness is linked with compassion and is considered to be an antidote for isolation, which is so important at this time. It boosts our mood, strengthens our relationships, buffers negative aspects of stress, and reinforces that there is good in us! Even reflecting on times when we have shown kindness makes us feel better!

Look for ways to facilitate kindness in your workplace, community, home and social media. And be kind to yourself!

Workplace Factors

The 13 Psychosocial Factors were developed by Guarding Minds@Work and referenced by the Mental Health Commission of Canada in the National Standard for Psychological Health and Safety in the Workplace. These factors address elements that impact employees’ psychological responses to work and work conditions that could potentially cause psychological health problems. They include both the way work is carried out (i.e. deadlines, workload, work processes) and the context in which work occurs, which is about relationships and interactions with each other.
