SAHMRI evaluation of Be Well Plan

Be Well Plan Evidence

Be Well Plan was developed by world leading wellbeing and mental health researchers from SAHMRI and Flinders University’s Orama Institute for Mental Health and Wellbeing.

Drawing on the best available evidence from around the world, SAHMRI conducted a metaanalysis (a ‘study of studies’) including over 400 studies of psychological programs, to understand the most effective ways to improve mental wellbeing. This resulted in the activities presented in the Be Well Plan, which are available to you in an easy to apply format.

Be Well Plan was also informed by SAHMRI’s experience over 6 years in delivering wellbeing and resilience programs to over 5,000 people from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences. Be Well Plan has been proven to be effective in three separate studies, including a ‘Randomised Control Trial’ (which is the gold- standard of testing)*

Be Well Technology

A unique feature of the Be Well Programs is their integration with technology.

Be Well Plan Mobile App
