Thank a first responder

Your gratitude can have a big impact

Gratitude is good for us – did you know it can make us feel more connected to those around us?

Whether we’re showing our gratitude to someone else, or being thanked, the act of gratitude makes us feel closer to each other. It helps to make our relationships stronger, and it deepens connections.

This sense of connection is part of what brings happiness and a sense of wellbeing into our lives.

In fact, connectedness is an important pillar of psychological wellbeing and inclusion.

When we feel connected to others, we also feel supported. This is vital for first responders, who spend so much time helping others. It’s important that they feel backed up by their families, friends and community members.
