Join us on Friday, October 17, 10:30 AM–12:00 PM (PST) for the launch of PHABC’s Wellbeing Society Webinar Series, building on #PHSI25: Building Wellbeing Societies and Communities.
A Wellbeing society is “committed to achieving equitable health now and for future generations without breaching ecological limits.”
Geneva Charter for Well-Being, World Health Organization, 2022
PHABC is developing a Wellbeing Society initiative, inspired by the WHO’s Geneva Charter for Well-Being and “Working Together to Thrive: Well-Being and Public Health,” the 2025 report of the Chief Public Health Officer of Canada. The initiative began with a 2025 Summer Institute (Think Piece HERE and video available here ).
The next step is a series of monthly webinars to explore what it really means, and what it will take, to become a society that places the equitable wellbeing of people and the health of the planet at the centre of societal governance.
This exciting online event will introduce a new platform dedicated to understanding the challenges and opportunities in creating a Wellbeing society, and the actions needed to get us there. The opening session will feature reflections on some of the profound societal transformations required to place the wellbeing of people and the planet at the heart of governance.
