Hi TOK List,

 

  One of the reasons Zak Ali and I started the W I I Thrive project was to explore ways we might create a community well-being initiative, in part because we are anticipating a serious mental wave of mental health concerns rippling throughout the country in the next year.

 

Here is one report on this:

Here is a more personal narrative of what it might look like at the individual level:

You can see in the narrative how a CALM-MO approach might have been utilized.

 

Best,
Gregg
