Towards a culture of wellbeing: What does this mean and how do we all get there?
When: Thursday 10 March 2022
Time: 12-1pm AEDT

The pandemic has stress-tested the global health community at large. We are expected to do more, know more and find solutions to the complex equity challenges that can address the determinants of health and wellbeing.
But do we really know how to look after ourselves in the acute and long term, let alone demonstrate to others the best global practices and policies to aim for?
The importance of wellbeing is often overlooked as something we should ‘just do’, but it is often the first thing we neglect in times of crisis. As carers, leaders and committed experts, our global health network can serve our communities better, and in turn lead by example, if we first make sure that we ourselves are healthy and well.
What does the wellbeing of current and future generations mean to you and your institution, and what lessons globally have already been enacted to advance a culture of wellbeing at a whole-of-society level? What leadership got them there?
Moderated by Dr Selina Lo, Executive Director of the Australian Global Health Alliance, you will hear from four expert panellists, who will share their perspectives and lessons learned on wellbeing from national and global contexts.
This is the first conversation the Alliance wants to share with you as part of our new discussion series ‘Global Health Snapshots’. We hope you can join us.
