Well Life Society
Nexus for Community, Health and Scholarship
Well Being, Well Life.
Mission: To create connections that build an empowered society, through advocacy, community engagement, consultation and wellness workshops.
Vision: A society that thrives by intentionally working together as an interconnected system of organizations, schools, congregations and centers that operate from purpose filled interaction.
Our core belief is "Well being is a right, but cultivate it intentionally, Well being, Well Life ".
Our focus is centered on promoting a culture that's established on the principles of Christ-like action and a willingness to ra'ah (look after) all humankind. Christ's love was action on the behalf of others. He didn't just look out for Christians but for everyone.
Our Philosophy is Advocacy
We advocate for all aspects of a "Well Life" through 3 major channels; namely Health, Education, & Social Leadership.
Well Life Society operates as an Eco system collaborative that like-minded individuals and organizations are able to connect and network with.
The flow of three major channels of involvement,
- Lifestyle Health: We teach the community the principles of Lifestyle Health which are connected to a non pharmalogical approach to prevent and even reverse the effects of some chronic health conditions. The following are principles of Lifestyle Health recommended by the American College of Lifestyle Medicine.
1. A Good Night's Rest
2. Increase Physical Activity
3. No Risky Substances
4. Eat Healthfully
5. Maintain Healthy Relationships
6. Healthy Stress Management
- Education: We Advocate and partner to conduct community focus groups to drive quality and equitable education for students. Our groups inform the community and drive Education equity for all students including those who learn differently. The goal is to improve SEL access, increase the amount of trauma informed learning environments, promote effective Parent education, bring more attention to the need for self & social awareness among students, engage students through leadership and life skills training. We also connect to drive change for the under-served by being intentional about disrupting the school to prison pipeline that effect many who have experienced trauma. For these reasons we collaborate with organizations like Empowered Families, Education Freestyle and The Sentencing Project.
- Social Leadership: We initiate forums to discuss current affairs in an effort to bring out solutions to issues present. We are a part of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. We believe that though we do not agree with the organization of BLM, that black lives do matter by right of humanity. We nourish this reality by addressing the need for cohesiveness within the Black Community first. We also advocate to remove the stain and stigma off of seeking mental and emotion health within the black community. So, we intentionally outreach to share important reasons to seek help if needed. This builds a healthy community that then establishes urbanity and trust within black normalcy, promoting positive self-image, good citizenship and personal reform.
