Community Wellbeing Builders & Champions
Community Wellbeing Builders & Champions
Because of the variations and in honouring each unique community, we also adopt a co-creation model, with the community wellbeing builders and champions, in each of the communities. We bring together, and equip, a movement of Community Wellbeing Builders (CWB) and Champions (CWC) to join us in advocating for self care and community care.
CWBs and CWCs join us in community sessions, to receive support and mini trainings, on promoting wellness in our communities, and to co-create community wellbeing initiatives and strategies, that will support and benefit the respective communities.
We believe there is wisdom within the community, in keeping themselves well; we are present in our support to harness these wisdom, to enable and empower to community, so that wellbeing is sustainable for them. And we do this through bringing together and equipping a movement of Community Wellbeing Champions (CWC) to join us in advocating for self care and community care.
Community Wellbeing Champions join us in our community sessions to receive support and mini trainings on promoting wellbeing in their communities, and to co-create community wellbeing initiatives and strategies that will support and benefit their respective communities.
Collective Focus
Collective Focus
Level 1 : Connection
Level 1 : Connection
the physical and social layout of the network. It’s about having enough people in your life so that you aren't isolated.
is more than just "knowing people." It is the invisible infrastructure of a community - the strength, variety, and reliability of relationships that allow individuals and the collective to thrive. It serves as a safety net.
the subjective experience of belonging, trust and reciprocity.
Level 2 : Relationships
Level 2 : Relationships
the substance and quality of connections - the active forces that turn a group of strangers into a resilient society. Trust is developed.
Roots : high levels of intimacy, shared history, and unconditional support. It’s the "safety net" relationship where you don't have to explain yourself.
Branches : between people from different backgrounds, neighbourhoods, or social classes. They are the "weak ties" that connect diverse groups.
Ladder : relationships between community members and people in positions of power or authority
Level 3 : Friendship
Level 3 : Friendship
the most intimate and voluntary form of social connection.
While "neighbourliness" might keep a community safe and "networking" might keep it productive, friendship is what makes it feel soulful and personally supportive.
There is Voluntary Vulnerability: You choose to share your "true self"—fears, failures, and dreams—with another person. This creates a deep level of emotional security that general community connections lack.
There is Reciprocal Accountability: Friends hold each other to a standard. If a community is a collection of friends, people don't just "coexist"; they encourage each other’s growth (e.g., "I know you wanted to start that local garden, how's it going?").
There is Stimulating Companionship: It includes shared joy and play. While community "initiatives" focus on work, friendship focuses on recreation—the jokes, shared hobbies, and "carefree" interactions that lower cortisol and boost mental health.
the glue to community wellbeing
Level 4 : Interdependence
Level 4 : Interdependence
the practical realization that "I am because we are."
While independence focuses on self-reliance, interdependence recognizes that individual flourishing is inextricably linked to the health of the collective and the environment.
the operating system that keeps the community running - the "give-and-take" of human relationships, recognition that everyone has something to contribute and everyone has needs.
Level 5 : Social Capital
Level 5 : Social Capital
the "hidden wealth" of a society.
If connection is the network and relationship is the experience, social capital is the value or resource generated by those bonds - allows a community to function effectively, solve problems, and bounce back from adversity.
developed from the above levels of connection, relationship, friendship and interdepence.
