Action Tips: Start a Thank You Note Chain

Boy writing near cliff

Sometimes a simple "thank you" can improve someone's self-esteem and mental health, even if its for the day. Send a "Thank You" note or card to three people who have made a positive difference in your life.

Open with a thank you.
Be specific. Why are you thanking this person? Use a specific story or helpful thing that they give you.
Upon closing, tell the person to think of three people they would also like to thank, and ask them to do the same.
