The two interventions were selected from 'Inside Me', a programme of arts-based intervention to enhance personal social and emotional wellbeing in six primary and secondary schools in areas of significant social and economic disadvantage in West Yorkshire, UK, implemented by the arts agency Loca and funded by the local health authority.

This paper describes satisfaction with services, participation and wellbeing in the three groups of young people with LTCs.
A questionnaire was sent to senior health promotion specialists employed in the 22 local authority areas in Wales to ascertain details of all projects promoting health and wellbeing in the eight key areas where the priority population was aged over 50, or the majority of users were older people.
The survey asks a range of personal questions – job satisfaction, frequency of exercise, how many neighbours you know by name – and creates a wellbeing score in three areas: Be (how you feel), Do (how you act) and Connect (how you relate to others).
Educator mental wellbeing was investigated in two studies (Netherlands, USA), where it was found to be high and consistently related to working conditions, particularly social support[ 13, 47].
From a more philosophic point of view, wellbeing is sometimes distinguished in two basic forms: a "hedonic" form representing the sum of an individual's positive affective experiences (Ryff et al. 2004), and a deeper "eudaimonic" form that results from striving toward meaning and a noble purpose beyond simple self-gratification (Ryan and Deci 2001).
The emphasis on staff health and wellbeing in the NHS Five Year Forward View is very welcome.
