Welcome to WorkWell

    For almost thirty years we studied the wellbeing of people working in helping and healing professions: clergy, international aid workers, teachers, global health workers, and US-based social service professionals and physicians.

    We have learned a lot! Now, we are focusing our efforts on turning our research + the growing body of research on wellbeing into tools and resources that will be useful to real people in the real world! There are a lot of exciting things going on.
