Wellbeing Framework

We believe it is our collective responsibility to promote wellbeing with intention to empower community members to thrive. We define wellbeing as feeling good and functioning well. Knowing and taking care of oneself, making positive choices and helping others enables students to flourish.

The wellbeing framework takes the form of a kolam (a traditional South Indian design). With AISC at the center, we believe small acts that promote wellbeing ripple across the entire community. Each petal details the content and application of the domain. Through wellbeing programming we support our community to learn the concepts, live them in practice, teach them to others and embed them across systems, processes and in our own lives.
