In a world where stress, anxiety, burnout, and illnesses are becoming increasingly common, the need for well-being education has never been more critical. The relentless pursuit of success, coupled with the constant stream of social media, has led to a growing epidemic of unhappiness and dissatisfaction. This phenomenon is not just affecting our mental health but is also crippling our overall well-being. To address these pressing issues, Interpersonal Wellness Services Inc. has created a Well-being Curriculum Learning Fund Scholarship designed to empower individuals passionate about making a difference in the fields of health, wellness, and education.
Whether you're a teacher, trainer, HR practitioner, coach, or consultant, this scholarship could be your gateway to optimizing your professional work and personal well-being.
The Growing Epidemic of Unhappiness
Recent studies indicate a troubling rise in mental health issues among professionals. The pressures of work, combined with the incessant comparisons fueled by social media, are leading to increasing levels of dissatisfaction. Many are finding it difficult to achieve a sense of balance and contentment in their lives.
Why Well-being Matters
Well-being is the ability to be healthy, happy, fulfilled, and content in one's life. Unfortunately, the current societal landscape is making this increasingly difficult because of the comparison phenomenon where individuals constantly measure their lives against others', which often leads to feelings of inadequacy and unhappiness.
The importance of well-being cannot be overstated. Without it, humans are at risk of experiencing chronic stress, burnout, and a host of other health issues. The Well-being Curriculum Training is designed to tackle these challenges head-on, providing comprehensive, evidence-based strategies to enhance overall well-being for individuals and workplaces.
Expertise Behind the Program
The program is spearheaded by Joyce Odidison and the Well-being Curriculum faculty team. Joyce is Founder of the Well-being Curriculum framework and has authored her 7th book, called the Well-being Curriculum. Joyce brings vast experience and expertise as the President of Interpersonal Wellness Services Inc for over two decades. Joyce is no stranger to creating phenomenal programs, having created the first approved wellness coach training program by the International Coach Federation (ICF) in 2006.
