It turns out you can do quite a lot in ten years.

An amazing round up of the more than 90 collaborations and the changes that are happening as a result.

Thank you

[What Works Centre for Wellbeing @WhatWorksWB]

In our final blog the Centre’s Executive Director, Nancy Hey (@Work_Life_You) reflects on the achievements & challenges of the last decade, & looks ahead at the work still to be done: https://t.co/ASL1WLnkOO

[Wellbeing Research Centre @OxWellResearch]

⬆️ Pendle, +0.93
⬆️ Brentwood, +0.76
⬆️ Colchester, +0.74

⬇️ Nuneaton and Bedworth, -0.95
⬇️ Rushmoor, -0.96
⬇️ Cambridge, -1.00

Some areas of the UK have seen substantial increases in #wellbeing over the past decade – but others have lagged behind.👇

@LucyGoBag Emotions are there even if you don’t account for them. It’s better if you do. Yes, and is right.

[Nancy Hey @Work_Life_You]

At the National Maritime Museum Greenwich today

[Nancy Hey @Work_Life_You]

@LucyGoBag I know putting numbers on this experience is not the point but policy analysis systematically only puts a value on the life lost and not the ripples of bereavement as you describe and it could easily be done.

[Nancy Hey @Work_Life_You]

@PJTheEconomist Kept from being worse by a focus on life satisfaction until the pandemic

[Nancy Hey @Work_Life_You]

@sleeepysandy @LucyGoBag Frustrating when a) there are things that work and b ) well intentioned effort where the impact is not looked at and is harmful

[Nancy Hey @Work_Life_You]

@stianwestlake Yes definitely. The margins, likelihood of success as a partner and the effort needed for bids especially collaboration make it unviable.

[Nancy Hey @Work_Life_You]

@DKThomp Not entirely convinced there’s all that big of a loneliness crisis - only that we now realise social connection and support are more important than we previously thought and it matters. But advocacy needs to make it a crisis for there to be action. Social media impact is mixed

[Nancy Hey @Work_Life_You]

@Jess_Deighton Very interested to see the findings. Would love to hear more on the safety and wellbeing intervention.

[Anna Freud @annafreuduk]

We’ve completed one of the world’s largest school-based mental health trials through @EBPUnit with @UCL. Read the results from Education for Wellbeing and find out how schools can build students’ mental health and wellbeing: https://t.co/0yXtyqoKdg

@OxWellResearch @SciReports What’s this suggesting about what’s missing from the econometric models?

[Nancy Hey @Work_Life_You]

The existing resources really matter

[Daniel Litt @littmath]

My sense is that Deep Research seems to do reasonably well if it can find an existing resource summarizing the topic it's trying to understand (a Wikipedia article, survey article, blog post...) and follow the links from that resource.

🎯 Achievement orientation—setting goals for growth—strongly predicts better mental wellbeing. Encourage PhD students to focus on personal growth! 🚀 #GoalSetting #PhD https://t.co/BrRVPg2L67 @LarisaDinu4 @Garethstudentwb @kckirkman

New real-time suicide data have been published by @OHID, taking us to October 2024.

National suicide rate isn’t rising - important at time of economic stress for many. No rise in men, women or any age group.

Although, needless to say, no rate is acceptable. #suicideprevention

[#BeeWell @BeeWellUK]

We are so excited that #BeeWell schools have been receiving their dashboards and reports today!

250 schools took part in #BeeWell in Autumn 2024, and we can’t wait to support them to explore and respond to what young people are telling us about their wellbeing.

@boys_nicholas The earliest reference to the ‘wellbeing of the nation’ that I found referred to avoiding high house prices

[Nancy Hey @Work_Life_You]

@stianwestlake @DEHEdgerton Like many things in implementation it needs constant attention type of leadership to keep renewing and maintaining the activity over time to some rather prosaic.

[Joachim Voth @joachim_voth]

What is the meaning of life? What would you remember as bringing satisfaction, meaning, and purpose to your life? These are the modest questions that David Lagakos, Stelios Michalopoulos and I try to answer by "interviewing" over 1,400 Americans. We don't get to talk to them

[Nancy Hey @Work_Life_You]

I’m not sure I can do this with good grace so I’m not going to. There are so many ironies here it’s hard to know where to start.

[Matt Leach @matt_leach]
