The Life Is... Foundation (LIF) is a not for profit charitable organisation LIF runs a wellbeing program called Live Well Laugh and will be offering general classes and tailored retreats when it is safe to do so...stay tuned more info coming soon LIF was established after the su***de of Nellie Gee in 2005. LIF’s mission is based on a recognition of the explicit and implicit impact that stress, inc
luding toxic stress, adverse life events and trauma can have on our wellbeing, the effects of which are seen most acutely in su***de, but also in self harm, anxiety, depression, and general psychological and emotional distress. LIF’s ongoing aim is to develop and implement practical wellbeing and harm prevention programs that enhance resilience as well as increasing our knowledge and understanding of ways of being well. LIF also recognises the importance of community and social connection, that is essential for all ages and cultures. While some LIF programs have specifically targeted at risk populations, LIF’s focus is on programs and activities that increase general wellbeing and self-understanding as preventative and protective ways of dealing with the stresses inherent in daily living as well as the challenges of adverse life events.
