‘Kindness is in our power’ - great thread below ⤵️

[Rhea Liang @LiangRhea]

HCWs as 'heroes' during #COVID19 has made it difficult to feel deserving of help or kindness, because to reach out feels like admitting that we lack resilience or are not as good as we should be- @McGeriD

(Grimly) hear hear! 🔥
We are humans, not heroes.

“The person I am working with, even during a crisis situation, is a human.. if we overlook that then the quality of care we offer will degenerate.” - Hugh Mackay on his new book ‘The Kindness Revolution’

So good to take part ⁦@GoKindness_⁩ Thanks ⁦@NSWHealth⁩

[Rhea Liang @LiangRhea]

Important point from @catherinecrock - we can't just impose what we think is 'kind' on people. Empathic listening is a necessary part of kindness and sometimes that requires taking a step back.

Sue Robins talks about looking at your own 'realm of power' and enacting small acts of kindness. Think about built environments (what posters are on your wall?) and walk a little slower through the hospital, making eye contact or having a chat.
