#RandomActsofKindnessDay

Dr Emma Williamson, Consultant Clinical Psychologist

Today is Random Acts of Kindness Day - February 17, 2022

Everyone can use more #kindness in their lives. Scientific evidence shows the positive effects we experience doing kind acts for others as well as receiving them or even witnessing #kindness in action. The #RandomActsofKindness movement can involve us all and takes little to no planning to tune into #kindness and brighten someone’s day.


After all, knowing you have done a good deed will most definitely brighten your own day!


What will you do today to share the care?


We've listed a few little ideas below – let us know what you give a go!


- Call a friend to say hello


- Pay it Backward: buy coffee for the person behind you in line.


- Compliment the first three people you talk to today.


- Send a positive text message to five different people right now.


- Post inspirational sticky notes around your neighbourhood.


- Donate old towels or blankets to an animal rescue centre.


- Surprise a neighbour with freshly baked cookies. 


- Leave spare change in a charity collection pot.


- Leave a note on someone’s car telling them how awesome they parked.


- Write a kind message on your mirror with a dry erase marker for yourself or a family member.


- Smile at five strangers.


- Volunteer at a charity


- Send a gratitude email to a co-worker who deserves more recognition.


- Practice self-kindness and spend 30 minutes doing something you love.


- Give away stuff for free on Facebook or gumtree.


- Write a gratitude list in the morning and again in the evening.


- Offer to babysit or dog walk for free.


- Zoom call a friend you haven’t seen for ages or call an elderly relative.


- Return a shopping trolly.


What will you do?

Set yourself an intention and share the love by encouraging others to do the same.

Beyond the Offense: Understanding the Complex Needs of Offenders in Health & Social Care

By Written By Bridget Daley • July 17, 2024
Health and social care staff commonly tell us that supporting individuals who have a history of offending presents unique challenges. These challenges stem from the complex systems as well as multiple needs that often accompany a history of offending. It is well documented that people in contact with the criminal justice system can have high levels of mental health and substance use difficulties, histories of trauma and adversity, homelessness, and experience barriers in social inclusion. Individuals may also struggle with accessing education, employment, and stable housing, creating a cycle that can be difficult to break.
