Action for Happiness promotes mental health and wellbeing by providing information, evidence-based resources, public events, educational services, training, and community activities.
Action for Happiness was founded in 2010 to promote the idea that we can uplift the quality of life in our societies if we each make happiness our primary goal.
Action for happiness believes that building mass awareness of the scientific knowledge of happiness can change how we approach our personal lives, how we bring up our children, how we behave at work, and how public policy is made. And it can help us act in a way that considers the happiness of future generations, as well as our own.
The mission of Action for Happiness is to promote a happier world, through a culture that prioritises happiness and kindness.
Action for Happiness’s work is underpinned by the evidence-based 10 Keys to Happier Living framework, which is backed by hundreds of research studies.
Specifically, Action for Happiness:
