About

We are grateful that Jodie Cooper, a Wellness Life Coach and Positive Psychology Practitioner became 'locked-down' in our community during COVID-19 restrictions of 2020. Jodie and her young family were travelling Australia in their caravan. Jodie is a big believer in travel and new experiences generating happiness and that you can bring that feeling home. So much so that she wrote a book about it! 

Bringing Happiness Home - Jodie Cooper

Jodie worked in Break O'Day Council and led the design of a wellbeing project using Positive Psychology to support local people to take actions to notice what works well, and then do more of it, to create ripples of wellbeing across our community.

We are grateful that The Tasmanian Community Fund funded Break O'Day Council to undertake a pilot project in 2021 and that . We are grateful to The Wellbeing Lab for their mentorship and support as we learned how to help each other learn and grow wellbeing.

Thank you to everyone who participated in in the Wellbeing Project. For your wisdom and for the generous way you shared and learned together, supported each other and taught us so much. Special thanks to our trainers Jodie, Debbie, Alli, Renee, Anna, Michele, Leah. Kayla, Michelle, Tess for your guidance, wisdom, warmth and energy.

Thanks to everyone who mentored others to help them bring their ideas to life along the way, and for being friendly, encouraging and wise voices to guide us.

This collection of wellbeing information is to share wellbeing ideas with even more people in our community and to help ensure that the ripple effects of local actions will continue to impact our community.
