Many people are in desperate need of support after being impacted by the recent weather events throughout the country.
I could fill pages with the benefits of altruism, but I won't. All of the science, psychology and research I could find (and there is lots of it) indicates that altruism is good for you as well as for the benefactor.
If you aren't in a position to help out financially, maybe you are in a position to:
👉 Give your time to help someone in your community
👉 Check in on your friends and family - a quick message or phone call
👉 Thank our essential workers - many are the same people who got us through the pandemic
👉 Smile at those you pass by
👉 Look after your own mind health - so that you are in a better position to help others when you are ready to do so.
