Wellness Policy Toolkits

Research in progress

GWI’s Wellness Policy Series is a compilation of nine reports, which aim to define wellness policy, articulate why it is needed, and provide a framework and set of strategies for implementing wellness policies across many domains of wellness. GWI is releasing a series of Wellness Policy Toolkits, which focus on seven domains of wellness:

Wellness Activities & Lifestyle Wellness-Supporting Environments
·        Physical activity (released April 2023)
·        Mental wellness (released June 2024)
·        Healthy eating
·        Traditional & complementary medicine		 ·        Wellness in tourism (released March 2024)
·        Wellness in the built environment
·        Wellness at work

Each toolkit will address both the why and how of wellness policy: What is the rationale and need for wellness policy action in each domain? How can all stakeholders (governments, businesses, communities, nonprofits) take action to address important issues and gaps? For more information, see Wellness Policy Series.
