THE FOUR PILLARS OF WELLBEING
The Four Pillars of Wellbeing Program is the first ever SEL and Mental Health curriculum that takes a truly holistic approach to wellbeing, and its impact is clear, measurable, and scalable. It empowers adults and children with the skills to navigate all of life’s experiences with insight, wisdom, clarity, and compassion. It teaches learners how to find the joy that is already inside of them. The Four Pillars are grounded firmly in rigorous science and have a rich philosophical history spanning thousands of years across cultures.
