WE Charity's WE Well-being initiative is a proactive approach built on evidence-based prevention and promotion strategies, designed to build a foundation of awareness, understanding, and action. Developed in collaboration with leading mental-health professionals and with the support of our founding partner, the Erika Legacy Foundation, our goal is to achieve the following transformative outcomes: 1) the promotion of positive, inclusive, safe, and caring environments and relationships; 2) the reduction of stigma, the celebration of diversity, and the fostering of resiliency; 3) an increase in social, emotional, physical, and mental well-being.
We have been accomplishing this mission through accessible and inclusive programs that make mental well-being stigma-free and that reach millions of young people and families. We have translated the science of well-being into everyday action, providing clear pathways and resources through tools such as action-oriented curriculum in schools, professional learning for educators, youth and family workshops, mass-awareness campaigns, podcasts, and books.
We have leveraged our youth-centric platform to encourage young people to effect change and to act as leaders by promoting their own mental well-being and supporting the well-being of their schools, families, and communities. We have used WE Charity's network of millions of students, tens of thousands of schools and teachers, technology platforms, celebrity ambassadors, and stadium events with hundreds of thousands of participants to reach millions of more people with the tools and resources to make an impact.

The Pursuit of Happiness - Australian Doctor - July 3 2015John Kron
The document discusses the rise of the wellbeing movement and what it means for doctors. It notes that while wellbeing was once associated with alternative lifestyles, it has now gone mainstream. Research shows that factors like relationships and community connections are important for wellbeing, beyond just income level. High wellbeing is linked to reduced mortality risk similar to not smoking. However, wellbeing is complex with many interconnected factors. While more needs to be done to improve population wellbeing, there are also concerns that the pursuit of happiness could be taken too far in some cases. The medical field is also increasingly recognizing the importance of wellbeing for health outcomes.
Social justice affects people's lives and health in major ways. It determines people's chances of illness and premature death. There are large disparities in life expectancy and health between those who live in parts of the world where social justice is lacking and those who live in areas with greater social justice. Ensuring social justice for all is critical to improving people's health and extending their lifespans.

Introduction to health promotion and population healthAbduh Ridha
This document provides an introduction and outline for a presentation on health promotion and population health. It includes:
1) Milestones in the development of health promotion and population health from 1974 onwards, including reports, conferences, and definitions that were influential.
2) An outline of key concepts in health promotion and population health, including definitions of health, health promotion, empowerment, and determinants of health.
3) Questions from the audience about differences and commonalities between health promotion and population health that will be addressed later in the presentation.
Government policies that focus too heavily on economic growth can negatively impact population mental well-being. After Iceland's 2008 financial crisis, the government shifted focus to also measure mental well-being and develop social indicators to improve population welfare. Studies found that strong social relationships and difficulties making ends meet most predicted happiness and unhappiness. The government now aims to increase average mental well-being scores and achieve greater equality through policies promoting employment, education, and support for vulnerable groups.

There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
6. Definitions Hedonic Wellbeing = consists of pleasure or happiness * Eudaimonic Wellbeing = realised in achieving the individual’s potential *(Ryan and Deci (2001)) Subjective Wellbeing = an individual’s assessment of their own circumstances, what they think and feel (harder to measure and influence) ** Objective Wellbeing = the social and material attributes that contribute or detract from an individual or community’s wellbeing ** Process or Outcome ? **(Felce and Perry (1995))
7. Definitions (cont’d) Quality of life is about the non-material aspects of human wellbeing, and includes subjective and objective features Well-being or welfare , is broader than quality of life: it comprises both material resources and non-material aspects Sustainability , which considers whether an activity or condition can be maintained indefinitely, is about whether wellbeing can last in the future (OECD 2010)
8. Subjective Wellbeing “ subjective well-being refers to all of the various types of evaluations, both positive and negative, that people make of their lives. It includes reflective cognitive evaluations, such as life satisfaction and work satisfaction, interest and engagement, and affective reactions to life events, such as joy and sadness. Thus, subjective well-being is an umbrella term for the different valuations people make regarding their lives, the events happening to them, their bodies and minds, and the circumstances in which they live” E. Diener, ‘Guidelines for National Indicators of Well-Being and Ill-Being’, 28 November 2005

16. Major new ‘happiness test’ for the people of Wales The nation’s “happiness” would be officially measured under plans to protect and promote the wellbeing of Welsh people. Proposals by the Assembly Government to gauge overall life satisfaction have been welcomed by health experts and business leaders as a bold way of building a better balanced country. Western Mail 1 March 2010

19. “ The Gross National Product counts air pollution and cigarette advertising, and ... the destruction of the redwood and the loss of our natural wonder in chaotic sprawl ... Yet [it] does not allow for the health of our children, the quality of their education, or the joy of their play ... the beauty of our poetry or the strength of our marriages ... it measures everything, in short, except that which makes life worthwhile.” Robert Kennedy 1968
