Overview

The proactive, concerted development of human wellbeing is both a creative and practical objective for ensuring the prosperity and security of countries and the larger planet. To empower wellness worldwide, the Wellness & Government Initiative is capturing and sharing inspiring stories and best practices from wellbeing leaders, people who are striving to use government as an instrument for making wellbeing a priority. The goal of the initiative is not to recommend a “one-size-fits-all” solution, but to offer a starting point for a collaborative global conversation and shared learning about creating the conditions for human thriving through governments at every level, from small towns to entire nations.
