Working on Wellbeing

Contributing to Community

• One of the essential elements of wellbeing is that of community. Taking pride in one’s local environment and helping the community head in the right direction can make a good life great.
• People with high community wellbeing generally feel safe, secure, healthy and supported where they live. To do the same, identify how you could help the community based on your strengths and passions. You could start by making small contributions that lead to more of your involvement and greater impact.
• If you’re not sure where to start, find out about what is happening close to you. See if your employer has volunteer events planned. Look on your town’s social media pages. Check out national volunteer databases like VolunteerMatch.com.
