November 2021 Events - World Hello Day

hi everyone!

this month, we have a really awesome event - world hello day!

first, lets start with some super cool information about how world hello day came to be!

world hello day was first created in 1973 to show people that conflicts can and should be resolved through communication instead of violence. over the last 42 years of world hello day existing in our world, it's been celebrated in 180 countries! how cool is that!? i'm so excited to be sharing with all of you and hopefully you all get a chance to celebrate it in your country today :) if you'd like to learn more in depth about world hello day and see the timeline of how it came to be, click HERE!

next, let's discuss why even just saying something as simple as "hello" is important!

as many of you know, hello is probably the most common greeting that's used globally in so many languages! it helps us connect with people on so many levels, both new and old! most importantly, saying hello can bring a smile to someone's face who may be alone or facing battles that we cannot see. a hello can change how we feel about a person, place, or even ourselves! especially for those who may be struggling with depression, loneliness is a very common feeling and we may feel alone. receiving a nice hello and a smile can truly brighten up someone's day more than we may realize. did you know that making others happy can make us feel happier too? it sounds like a win win to me :p let's put that to the test!

how can we celebrate world hello day?

we can do so many things to celebrate this lovely day! typically, it is celebrated by trying to greet 10 people, but let's try to get to even more! my challenge for each and every one of you is to greet, say hello or even just smile at as many people as you can today! let's work together to bring some brightness to someone's day, and with all of you, hopefully all over the world!

we also have some super fun events to celebrate today!

please join:

• @MollyT in the teen depression support room at 3pm ET for a discussion on reaching out
• @Kelly500 in the teen depression support room at 8pm ET for a discussion on guilt and shame

we'd love to see you all there!

i'm so excited to see what all of you accomplish today! please feel free to share below:

how many people did you greet, say hello to, or smile at today? how did that make you feel?

what else can we do to help brighten others and our own days?

thank you so much everyone and i hope you all have a wonderful day full of hellos and smiles!
