National Hug Day seeks to encourage consensual hugging as a way to connect with one another. This day promotes hugging as an action that can spread global community values of love and kindness. It aims to encourage people to come together in love and acceptance. The goal is to allow healing and change to occur through personal contact. On this day, hugging is viewed as an open and safe practice that is good for one's soul as well as their mental and physical health.
National Hug Day was created by Kevin Zaborney in 1986. It is observed annually on January 21st.
