World Kindness Day: Be a Kindness Superhero!
Kindness Superheroes have one mission: to spread kindness all over the world to help boost the mental wellness of others! They show their compassion through words and actions and inspire others to do the same. Anyone can be a Kindness Superhero. In fact, look in the mirror and you’ll see one!
Being a Kindness Superhero is easier than you think. We have 5 ways to help you get started in time for World Kindness Day on November 13.
Take the On Our Sleeves Kindness Challenge
The On Our Sleeves Kindness Challenge gives you easy tips on how you can use kindness to make a difference in boosting the mental wellness of others - and it's good for you too!
Studies show that practicing kindness is beneficial for our own mental health and wellbeing too. It can:
- Help reduce stress
- Increase your sense of happiness
- Reduce negative emotions
- Help you feel more connected to others
- Reinforce important social skills that support healthy development

Meet the Superheroes of Kindness!
On Our Sleeves has teamed up with two amazing superheroes, Star Wars Actress Ashley Eckstein and Drag Queen Nina West, to change the world: one act of kindness at a time! Anyone can be a Superhero of Kindness, and Ashley and Nina are asking people of all ages to join them on this important mission. Every superhero needs a costume, so Ashley and Nina worked with HOMAGE to design the limited edition superhero T-shirt to get the word out. Thanks, Ashley and Nina, for your support!
