Wheel of Well-being Project

Live It Well have been working with the original creators of the Wheel of Well-being to bring the Six Ways of Wellbeing to Kent. The Wheel of Well-being was designed in 2008 as part of a Big Lottery Well London’s programme. It is an ongoing collaboration between the Mental Health Promotion Team at South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust and Uscreates.

The Wheel of Well-being project now has its own website promoting wellbeing. The website is divided into three sections.

WoW Yourself: A ‘do-it-yourself’ section. It’s full of practical things you can do to improve your well-being – tips to test, activities to try and places to visit.

WoW Your Community: If you work in the public, private or voluntary sector, this section gives you some inspirational ideas about using the Wheel of Well-being in your organisation, workplace or local community.

WoW Strategy: If you’re involved in policy development, public health or local government, this section will be of interest.
