Dive into the surprising science behind compassion. The research is clear: kindness doesn't just feel good, it does good. 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.
Tune in to explore why kindness works and how to build a culture of everyday empathy
Because when people are struggling, compassion might just be the most important thing we can offer.
