It’s Kindness Month!

The made-up event we all definitely need

Information about this website: Following the March 2026 merger of Patient Advocate Foundation and the PAN Foundation, this website is now a part of Patient Advocate Foundation and remains active during our website transition.

Where to find information during our transition:

We admit it: We made up Kindness Month.

But we hope this video shows you why we think it’s so important right now. At the PAN Foundation, most of our work is aimed at improving physical health, but the current mental health crisis has thrown a spotlight on problems like depression and anxiety.

Being kind is good for everybody.

It’s great for the person whose day you make through your kindness.

And it’s great for you because being kind and helpful has been proven to increase your own sense of well-being.
