There are so many ways to show others we care. Leanne Rubenstein of Compassionate Atlanta Inc. shares: "In the context of our work, compassion is not just a feeling but a practical, actionable strategy. It means recognizing the struggles and challenges that people face and actively working to address them. It means creating spaces where people feel seen, heard, and valued.
