Unlocking access to the 'goods' of society
social justice
FULCRUM Events can transform the lives of people who may be facing multiple disadvantages and are locked out from the 'goods' of society. It is very clear from research that social isolation is a risk factor for premature death.
- AUDACIOUS THINKING - we aim to make the world a fairer and easier place, specifically for people who experience significant struggles in their lives, be it due to mental health, physical health or social factors.
- AUDACIOUS ACTION - with the support of our corporate partners, we can open the locks and are able to provide our Events at minimal cost to groups who share common disadvantages.
Our unique way of leveraging change for such groups is to use an Event with them to facilitate personal learning, interpersonal connection and group cohesion, experiences that have often been beyond reach until now.
Hope has a ripple effect
What audacious madness is this?
The rationale is that if we can help ease such struggles, we all benefit.
We know from research into substance use recovery and elsewhere that it is highly likely that those who are able to negotiate such struggles move into living a life that is "better than well," characterized by higher ratings of quality of life than that reflected in the general public. Rather than viewing this as recovery from a pathology, it can be viewed as personal growth and development, where such individuals "have a ‘gratitude’ and humility that is associated with elevated levels of social and interpersonal sensitivity and awareness and greater satisfaction with their life".
And this is contagious. As David Best says, "the better than well phenomenon is one that everybody benefits from" - have a listen to David Best from 17.27 here.
