While gratitude is often encouraged, mental health struggles like anxiety and depression can make positivity feel out of reach—especially during stressful times or holidays. If you or your child are struggling, practicing gratitude through daily actions, words, and habits can help you focus on the parts of life that matter most. While not a cure, research confirms gratitude improves mood, strengthens social bonds, and enhances physical health.

Research shows that even small acts of gratitude can have a big impact. Writing down what you’re grateful for can lead to increased physical activity and fewer doctor visits. Sharing a gratitude letter with someone can even boost your health and happiness for an entire month. Additionally, thankfulness predicts a significantly lower risk of major depression, anxiety disorders, phobias, and substance abuse.
