THRIVING SYSTEMS

SUPPORT PEOPLE, ORGANISATIONS AND COMMUNITIES TO FLOURISH

We all have a personal responsibility for our own well-being. However we're also part of a wider system of friends, families, neighbourhoods, schools, workplaces and communities, and these can have a significant impact on our well-being. In recognition of this Thrive specialises in creating systems that support people and communities to flourish. We use good practice tools to help identify key systemic well-being strengths and deficits and co-design evidenced-based solutions.

MENTAL WELL-BEING IMPACT

ASSESSMENT

What is MWIA

“It really challenged me as an individual about having the answers and solutions when in fact those come from the collective – kids, their families, teachers, schools, school communities – and that’s why it’s really powerful."

Brian Smyth King, Director of Education

MWIA is an evidence-based toolkit that enables organisations to identify, demonstrate and improve their impact on mental well-being. Developed over 10 years, by a collaboration of specialists, the MWIA Toolkit has been used on over 1,000 policies, projects and services around the world. It was highlighted as a good practice tool by the UK Mental Health Outcomes Strategy (HMG 2011) and the European Mental Health in all Policy (MHiaP) initiative, 2017. The MWIA process supports quality improvement, evidence-based decision making.
