WELLBEING
Wellbeing is defined as the capacity to feel, think, and act in ways
that enhance our ability to enjoy life and respond to the challenges
we face. It recognises the importance of culture, diversity, equity,
social justice and personal dignity. It forms the basis on which
individuals, whānau, hapū and iwi and communities are able to
thrive.
WELL INDIVIDUALS CONTRIBUTE TO WELL WHĀNAU, COMMUNITIES, SCHOOLS AND
WORKPLACES, ECONOMIES AND SOCIETY.
Public policy, the economy, community resilience and assets, the legal
and justice systems, urban planning, the environment and human rights
all impact on wellbeing. Self-determination, social agency,
participation and connection, safe and inclusive communities, social
cohesiveness and social capital are key determinants for thriving.
Assessing the impact of public policy and programmes on wellbeing
contributes to a more thriving, inclusive and equitable society.
WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION
There has been much national and international interest in the
Government’s Wellbeing Budget. This workshop will provide
participants with an overview of what is meant by wellbeing economics
and the measures that Government are using to measure the country’s
wellbeing. The principles of wellbeing and how they inform and shape
policy and programmes will be examined as well as how a wellbeing
focus contributes to reducing social and economic disparities.
Wellbeing is much more than a warm subjective feeling. It is
determined by proven social, economic and cultural factors that
positively or negatively impact on the wellbeing of individuals and
communities. There are several internationally recognised wellbeing
models and frameworks as well as local models such as Whare Tapa Whā.
Based on these determinants and frameworks it is possible to develop
an evidence-based programme logic with clear wellbeing outcomes and
indicators and evaluation tools. The determinants, frameworks and
outcomes will be covered comprehensively in the workshop with
particular focus on Treasury’s Living Standards Framework.
It will offer a framework for organisations to apply a wellbeing lens
to its work and deliverables as well and wellbeing outcomes and
indicators
Tools such as the Mental Wellbeing Impact Assessment Tool provides a
systematic approach to assessing the impact of public policy, resource
management and planning and programme delivery on mental wellbeing. A
summary of the tool will be given.
