“When you encounter anyone - whether they have an intellectual, psychiatric, or physical disability, or none at all - one character strength in particular will always help you both: The kindness you show to others helps them, helps you, and helps anyone who is witness to it. Kindness creates a strong ripple effect due to the phenomenon I spoke of earlier known as elevation.

As the story of Walden House shows, we are intricately woven together in a delicate balance. In the end, we are all responsible for helping one another live happier lives.”
