Changing the Way the World Treats Mental Health

Our Purpose
 

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

Research

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.

Programs

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

Collaboration

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

May is Mental Health Awareness Month

To support you this month, we’ve created the JWB May Mental Well-Being Resource Calendar—a science-backed collection of daily tips, prompts, and resources drawn from our library and grounded in the JWB Well-Being Ecosystem.

Our approaches to mental and emotional health must expand to include the whole person — body, mind and spirit — within the context of community. Every mental healthcare professional should be trained in integrative approaches to mental health.

What We Believe About 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.
