Our Method To achieve our goals, Well Being Trust has created a comprehensive ecosystem approach that allows us to go all in for impact. All our investments within this ecosystem can be viewed as interconnected programs, or "levers," that connect, build upon and amplify each other. Just as there are multiple causes behind what is ailing us, so must any effective solution be multifaceted. There is no magic pill, app, nor program, nor policy change alone that can simply "solve all the problems." Lasting, effective solutions require meaningful partnerships of determined leaders and organizations, combined with changes to organizational practices and public policies, and investments that address challenges in a systemic, whole and comprehensive way. Thus, these five levers are not discrete areas of activity. Rather, they are mutually beneficial and reinforce actions that, when applied together—and when structured to deliver adequate reach, intensity and duration—result in a "dose-sufficient" action capable of delivering a population-level impact. Anything else is tinkering. This scale of impact can ensure that every person in every community has access to care and to the conditions and support for well-being. OUR GUIDING PRINCIPLES Embrace a whole-person, whole-community, whole-systems view. Cultivate a boundary- crossing, distributed force of leaders across a "field of fields," creating healthy communities that are gardens to grow people in. 5 Do what we do best; partner for the rest.
