Kindness costs nothing and can make a person’s day or even change their life.

In celebration of Kindness Week, Nov. 8 to 15, and the Spark Kindness Caught Being Kind community campaign, a series of events is scheduled in Natick to promote and celebrate kindness.

A community kindness celebration will take place from 1 to 3 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 9 at Connor Heffler Park. The community will gather for an all-ages event to honor those “caught being kind.’’ These are individuals whose everyday actions make life brighter for others.

An open door meal will be served at 4:30 p.m. Monday, Nov. 10 at the Natick Elks Club, 95 Speen St. A community meal will be served. Anyone interested in preparing or donating food for the meal or serving at the event should email [email protected].

“Raising Caring, Resilient and Values-Guided Children (in an Age of Anxiety)’’ will be presented at 7 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 13 at Natick High School. Dr. Richard Weissbourd of Harvard’s Making Caring Common Project will discuss what young people need most from adults today.

He will discuss the root causes behind the growing mental health crisis and rising hopelessness in youth, how parents and caregivers can foster kindness, empathy, and a sense of purpose in their children, the vital role of meaning and connection in an achievement-driven culture and why adult well-being matters, how to care for yourself while caring for your children

This presentation will offer insights and strategies to help families raise emotionally healthy, caring kids while also supporting caregivers’ own mental health and resilience. The program is free and open to all caregivers, educators, and community members, includes time for questions and answers with Dr. Weissbourd  and will offer book sales by Ten Trees Books.

The mission of Spark Kindness is to build a kind, resilient and welcoming community where no one feels alone, bullied, unsupported or unconnected.
