Original kindness videos designed to lower
stress and boost well-being
For healthcare and other high-stress environments
Uplift the patient-clinician interaction
before it even begins
before it even begins
Imagine an anxious patient in the waiting area and an overwhelmed clinician in the hallway.
Their stress could affect the appointment:
- The clinician might rush, interrupt the patient, or make mistakes
- The patient might feel unheard, react strongly, or lose trust
What if, before the appointment, they both watched an EnSpire video and felt calmer? Then they might listen better and show each other more caring, respect, and understanding.

What people are saying about EnSpire
Envision Kindness awarded prestigious RWJF grant to study the effects of EnSpire
We are grateful to RWJF for supporting our research on the effects of kindness media on patients and staff.
The views expressed here do not necessarily represent the views of the Foundation.
Why does something so simple work so well?
Humans are wired to both need and show kindness and connection. Kindness images activate this neuropsychology by…
Subconsciously influencing emotions and behaviors through priming
Studies from multiple researchers have shown that short, elevating kindness videos shift emotions positively and foster prosocial (kind, generous) behaviors.
Stimulating the brain’s reward system and releasing endorphins
This explains why people feel so good when seeing or participating in acts of kindness. Also known as the “helper’s high.”
Releasing oxytocin
Oxytocin (aka the “bonding or love hormone”) makes us feel connected to others and increases empathy and trust.
Activating the calming power of the parasympathetic nervous system
This slows down heart rate and breathing, eases stress and intense emotions, lowers inflammation, and boosts the immune system. And with decreased stress, cortisol declines.
The need for kindness and connection is also seen in many other species. Darwin and many others recognized how caring for others was a necessity for survival. We are born to care and to be kind.
