Australians are turning to social media to lift their spirits, with new coronavirus self-isolation policies leading to an estimated 1 million job losses.
With support groups emerging all over the internet, one of the most popular hubs for hope has revealed itself in the 'Kindness Pandemic' Facebook group, a global community which has amassed over 300,000 members in less than a week. With a focus on inter-generational connection, the group sees users share their own daily stories of kindness from within their respective communities, with Australian founder Dr Catherine Barrett, along with a team of admins, approving upward of 8,000 posts each day.
