Try this: Send a thoughtful text, write a handwritten note, compliment someone's effort, congratulate someone on an accomplishment, or remind someone that you appreciate having them in your life.

Encouragement doesn't have to solve a problem. Sometimes simply knowing that someone noticed can make a difference.

Try this: Invite someone into a conversation, ask someone to join your group, introduce yourself to someone new, or make room for someone who may be standing alone.

Inclusion can be as simple as making sure someone knows they have a place.

Try this: Thank a teacher, staff member, coach, volunteer, neighbor, family member, or friend. Be specific about what they do that makes a difference.

A simple thank-you can help someone realize that their work and effort are noticed.

Try this: Offer appropriate help with a task, share useful information, help organize something, assist with schoolwork when you can, or ask someone if there is anything you can reasonably do to make their day easier.

Try this: Share an uplifting message, post something encouraging, leave a positive note, compliment someone sincerely, or start a conversation about something good happening in your community.

Try this: Volunteer with an organization, participate in a community service project, collect needed items, support a local initiative, or encourage others to get involved.
