Why the Universal Wellbeing Charter Exists ?
The Universal Wellbeing Charter exists to empower measurable improvements in entrenched wellbeing challenges, for example high child and adult suicide, sexual and family violence, addiction and crime, mental health and chronic illness plus low educational engagement and achievement, home ownership and social cohesion. It provides a framework to reframe the challenges and and address them at their source through a community led strategy that includes individuals, families, organisations, communities, nations and the world.
The Universal Wellbeing Charter supports collaborations, community involvement and leadership. It is evidence-based, and implementation science and economically informed to drive changes to how wellbeing is understood, embedded and addressed across systems that affect people’s lives, and governed.
This Charter focuses on primordial prevention, that is, addressing the root causes of poor Universal Wellbeing at their source and before harm, disengagement, and long-term costs and consequences occur.
