Giving Back -- Helping Others

There are many benefits that come from giving of yourself. 

Volunteering is proven to be good for your health and your happiness. Studies have shown that people who volunteer live longer.

Volunteering is also a great for overcoming depression because it’s easier to temporarily forget about your own problems when you shift your focus to helping others.

You can also spend more time with your family and friends if you arrange to volunteer together.

If you're looking for opportunities in your area to volunteer, check out volunteermatch.org and idealist.org.
