4 Inner Dimensions to Wellbeing & Resilience
The outcomes of this part of the progam is that you learn to be more healthy, happy, mindful (skillfully focused), and purposeful (deeply motivated).
The 4 inner dimensions of human wellbeing form the foundation for success strategies in the 5 Outer Domains of Wellbeing (creative, work, financial, home, & community).
Linking everything together and providing a powerful, unique focus to the training is the highly experiential component of the program called Social Wellbeing. The 4 inner domains bear fruit in the domain of social wellbeing. Wellbeing and resilience do not occur in isolated individuals with poor relationships. Relationships with others is key. People need people.
Taken together this is our proprietry "4 + 1 + 5 Model of Wellbeing":

Program content is customised for each group and may include:
How is the program delivered?
A combination of 1 - 1 coaching, group facilitation, and online content. Online resources include videos, audios, assessments, as well as recommended readings & books.
The program is based on adult learning principles including lots of interaction between equals. Behaviour change is assisted by the spaced repetition of key messages.
While it may be cheaper to deliver wellbeing education via online delivery alone, it is worth noting that a 2009 meta analysis of over 1000 studies of online learning by the US Dept of Education found that blended education (face-to-face and online) gets the best results. (Source: p.7 New Scientist 8 September 2012.) This is not surprising as nothing beats the impact of interacting with a human being in the same room while online resources provide further depth and scope for self-paced learning.
Living Strong with Disability is a unique and exciting program that has been developed over several years with multiple audiences. If you want it to... it can change your life.
