Positive Outcomes for Local Wellbeing Program
The Naracoorte Lucindale Wellbeing Program (Wellbeing Program) aims to support physical, mental and community wellbeing through the implementation of a range of wellbeing initiatives.
The Wellbeing Program, supported by Wellbeing SA, gives Council a valuable opportunity to be a proactive and influential leader in supporting community wellbeing.
The Wellbeing Program 2022-23 Evaluation Report includes the evaluation of initiatives delivered from July 2022 to June 2023, and the findings of the Wellbeing Program’s six-monthly evaluation survey.
Between July 2022 and June 2023, the Wellbeing Program delivered 17 initiatives with 34 delivery partners to reach over 523 people. Thirty five percent of initiatives had a focus on increasing opportunities to be active, followed by improving wellbeing through food (24%), strengthening community engagement and social connectedness (24%) and supporting positive mental health and wellbeing (18%). In 2022-23 the Wellbeing Program had a greater focus on delivering initiatives that supported longer lasting change and improved sustainability. Two examples of this include Chats For Change and Multicultural Mural.
Feedback from participants of the Wellbeing Program initiatives was positive. The average score given by participants regarding the impact of initiatives on their immediate wellbeing was 4.45 out of 5 and 94% of respondents to a six-monthly evaluation survey agreed or strongly agreed that the Wellbeing Program helped them to improve their overall wellbeing.
Through Wellbeing SA, the Evaluation Report will be tabled with the Minister for Health and Wellbeing and the Chief Executive and Executive Directors at Wellbeing SA.
