Celebrating International Day of Happiness: A Boost for Mental Well-Being

Happiness is more than just a fleeting emotion—it’s a vital part of our overall well-being. On Thursday March 20, we celebrate the International Day of Happiness, a day dedicated to recognizing the importance of happiness in our lives and communities. This global celebration serves as a reminder that happiness is not just a personal pursuit but a shared experience that thrives in connection, kindness and positive action.

Why Happiness Matters for Mental Health

Our mental well-being is deeply connected to how we experience and cultivate happiness. Engaging in positive interactions, practicing gratitude, and embracing moments of joy can reduce stress, improve resilience, and strengthen our relationships. When we focus on small acts of kindness and connection, we not only boost our own happiness but also create a ripple effect that uplifts those around us.

Peer Support Leaders Bringing Joy to Our School Community

To celebrate this special day, our Peer Support Leaders will be hosting activities before school and during lunch breaks to spread positivity and connection. These activities will be designed to:

• Encourage gratitude and kindness
• Foster friendships and inclusivity

Create a sense of belonging and joy

By taking part in these moments of shared happiness, we strengthen our mental well-being and remind ourselves that even small acts—like a smile, a kind word, or a shared laugh—can make a big difference.

Let’s come together and celebrate the power of happiness! Join us on March 20th and be part of something uplifting!
