Spreading kindness this holiday season

"Be kind to yourself."
"You're worthy."
"Thank you for being you."
"You're appreciated."
"Don't give up on yourself."
"I believe in you."
"There's always hope."

While many look forward to the holidays, for those living with mental illness or addiction and their loved ones, it can be a lonely and isolating time — often one of the hardest of the year.
Compassion and empathy are cornerstones of supporting people along their mental health journey. Sometimes a simple Message of Kindness can spark hope, light, and connection in someone’s life.
For five years, Killam Apartments and Southwest Properties have partnered with the Mental Health Foundation of Nova Scotia on the Messages of Kindness campaign, matching funds raised in support of mental health and addiction programs across the province.
By sending a Message of Kindness, you’re joining a compassionate community of support that stands behind those struggling with mental illness or addiction this holiday season.
We invite you to share your own Message of Kindness, compliments of Killam Apartments and Southwest Properties. If you would like to add a donation, there’s an option to do so below.
Your message will be handwritten on ornaments displayed on Christmas trees in the Halifax Brewery Market and the Mount Hope Centre at Nova Scotia Hospital. It may also be featured on the Mental Health Foundation of Nova Scotia’s website and social media channels throughout the holiday season.
