Volunteering fulfills many functions, providing a way for individuals to express their values, strengthen social relationships and gain career-related experience. The Mental Health Foundation states that helping others increases social support by increasing feelings of belonging, while decreasing feelings of isolation and loneliness. For these reasons, altruistic sentiments and behaviours are increasingly incentivized within the workplace.”</p> <p>Listen in on how you can alleviate stress through the act of altruism.<br> </p> <p>See previous episodes <a href="//www.lpdstudio.ca/podcast" target="_blank">HERE</a>&nbsp;</p> <p>Join us on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/designingwellnesspodcast/?hl=en">The Gram</a></p>
