The JWB Foundation created our newest initiative The Mental Wellbeing Association, the world's first mental well-being certification organization.

Integrating self-care approaches, such as exercise, nutrition and mind-body practices, into treating mental health and promoting mental well-being.

We fund and promote evidence-based research on how self-care approaches such as exercise, nutrition and mind-body practices benefit mental health and well-being.

We create and support programs and initiatives that integrate evidence-based, holistic, self-care, approaches into the optimization of mental well-being.

We serve as a collaborative hub to advance a roadmap for an integrated approach to mental health.

Mental health is the ability to navigate and recover from emotional, social and psychological stress. It is the resilience to cope with life events and maintain a general sense of happiness, contentment and well-being. It is more a journey than a destination.
