PROSPER — Seven Pathways to Student Wellbeing

The Problem

"University asks a lot at once: marks, friendships, purpose, energy and the knocks that come with all of them. It helps to have a map of what supports wellbeing and a way to see where you are already strong. PROSPER works as both a planning tool and an audit tool, and the only comparison it makes is you against your earlier self."

Who it's for

The right fit

Designed for For university students in the second year of the wellbeing pathway, and any student who wants a whole-of-life map with the tools to work it.

PROSPER is Toni Noble and Helen McGrath's framework for positive education: Positivity, Relationships, Outcomes, Strengths, Purpose, Engagement and Resilience. It builds on Seligman's PERMA model and adds knowing your strengths and being able to bounce back. You start with your own PROSPER Check-In, then take one pathway at a time, each opening with its assessments, then core practices from the FlourishIQ library, a tool built for student life and extended tools for a longer format.
