The Mental Fitness Continuum

The Mental Fitness Continuum provides a practical way to understand how mental wellbeing changes over time. Rather than viewing mental health as either "healthy" or "unwell," the framework recognises that people move along a continuum influenced by everyday experiences, stress, recovery, and life events. In this course, you'll explore the stages of the Mental Fitness Continuum and learn how individuals and organisations can recognise early signs of change and promote positive mental fitness.

About this Course

Keyes’ Flourishing Model

Applied Learnings

Keyes' Flourishing Model challenges the traditional view that mental health simply means the absence of mental illness. Instead, it introduces the concept of flourishing as a state of positive mental health characterised by emotional, psychological, and social wellbeing. In this course, you'll explore the Mental Health Continuum, understand the difference between flourishing and languishing, and discover how organisations can foster environments where people truly thrive.
