Take A Minute
Building a wellbeing literacy campaign in Tasmania
The Mental Health Council of Tasmania, the peak mental health body for the state of Tasmania, commissioned Be Well Co to design and evaluate a campaign aimed at improving wellbeing literacy across Tasmania. The project gets people to use their favourite photos and short reflection exercises to explore sources of meaning and joy in their life, as individuals or as groups. This project is ongoing and has required significant co-design across various community groups across Tasmania, logic modelling and evaluation design, and working with creative firms to ensure the final product is fun and engaging. This project has now been extended into youth and was highly commended at the 2024 Mental Health Service Awards of Australia and New Zealand.
A Taxonomy of Positive Mental Health
Understanding the building blocks of wellbeing
Currently there is very little consensus around the world as to the specific components of mental wellbeing. As a result, there is confusion around the many models and measures of wellbeing that are available. Our team are actively leading a project to develop a taxonomy of mental wellbeing linked with measures for each of the domains within the taxonomy (i.e., happiness, connection, purpose, etc.). This project is being conducted in collaboration with leading academics from around the world (University of Melbourne, Australian National University, George Mason University, and Harvard University). This work is a 3-part study. You can find study 1 here, study 2 here, or download the final report below.
The Living My Life Project
Improving wellbeing service provision for people with a disability
Be Well Co has had the privilege to be involved in a large Information, Linkages and Capacity (ILC)-funded project on supported decision making in disability, looking at ways mainstream wellbeing services can support the sector and optimise their offerings for people with a disability. The project is now in its third phase looking at testing the suitability of wellbeing measurement tools for people with a disability and developing a character strength workshop and resources for people with intellectual disability. You can find previously created video resources here, and the report on the first phases including an appendix below.
