June 2019: Family Month
Over the course of the RADA Inspire campaign which started in March 2018 we have created awareness around taxi and driver behaviour on the roads, people’s attitudes towards those in the service industry as well as the very serious and prominent concern of bullying in schools, the workplace and even online. At the heart of all these themes is the value for oneself and others and making a difference no matter how small. Your actions are impactful and create a ripple effect of positive change. Respect, tolerance and understanding of others is critical in creating a safe, positive and peaceful environment for all.
The only way to create empathy among people in the world is to start with those closest to you and empower others to do the same. Time spent with loved ones is invaluable and reminds us of how blessed we are, creating an attitude of gratitude for the big and small things in life.
Not only during this month, but every day of the year we should be mindful of having a heart full of thanks, reflecting on both the blessings and the struggles that have brought us growth and wisdom. Gratitude makes sense of our past, it brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow.
Spend time with loved ones and encourage others to reconcile and reconnect with all forms of family and close friends.
