It reduces anxiety, improves recovery, lowers stress, boosts mental health and might even help you live longer. So what does that mean for schools? For the students navigating silent struggles? For the staff carrying invisible loads? Rachel Johnson (PiXL CEO) unpacks the evidence and explores how compassion can be one of our most powerful tools — not just in medicine, but in classrooms, corridors and staff rooms too. Kindness isn't a soft extra. It's strategy.
