The wellbeing frameworks

The models your school, workplace or clinic already uses — and the passages that meet each part of them.

These frameworks are not ours. They are the models already in use in schools, workplaces and health services — and every passage in this collection is labelled with the elements it speaks to. You should not have to learn our vocabulary to use this. If your school runs SEARCH, go to SEARCH. If your workplace runs PERMAH, go there.

Each framework belongs to the researchers who built it, named on its own page along with what every element means and the passages that serve it.
