Heads2Minds Kindness Advent Calendar 2021!

Can you believe it’s almost December! Who looks forward to their advent calendar every morning? Well, instead of enjoying a piece of chocolate everyday until Santa comes, we are challenging you to do one thing each day that will positively impact your own or someone else’s mental health.

To play along do as many of the tasks as you can. For each task you take on, post about it on social media and be sure to tag us (@heads2minds). We will give a prize to three people who complete the most tasks. Prizes include a mini food hamper, trio of well-being books and a beauty gift set. Happy Christmas Kindness everyone!
