Spread the word of SaskWellbeing by inviting your networks to subscribe to receive our Wellbeing Wednesday e-update and share our collection of Wellbeing Frameworks and Community Resources.

​Wellbeing is woven into many aspects of our lives beyond our physical health as we seek to balance family, work and community priorities. Together, lets expand our definition of health to include wellbeing – achieved when people are physically, emotionally, and spiritually healthy; are economically secure; have a strong sense of identity, belonging, and place; and have the confidence and capacity to engage as citizens.

Lead by Example.

​There are numerous ways to get involved in making wellbeing a priority in your community. Here are some ideas of how you can start: 
  • Encourage your local council to incorporate wellbeing into their community planning processes.
  • Host a conversation at your workplace around wellbeing. Start thinking about and asking these questions to ignite community conversations and actions centered around wellbeing.
  • Participate in community surveys to share your voice around wellbeing.
