My Wellness Star
For everyday health and wellbeing
Who is My Wellness Star for?
My Wellness Star has been developed to encourage people to consider factors that relate to their overall health, wellbeing and quality of life.
It can be challenging for people to manage their wellbeing for a variety of reasons. My Wellness Star helps them and the services supporting them identify progress towards key outcomes like my sleep, daily living, feeling connected, and unhealthy habits, and give clarity on where to focus next.
- Are there any other Stars that focus on wellbeing?
In addition to My Wellness Star, you may also wish to explore the Well-being Star. This Star was developed for adults self-managing health conditions and can work as a stand-alone tool, or as part of Personal Health Plan materials.
The Well-being Star is designed to either be self-completed by a patient, or ideally completed by a patient and health professional together.
Using the Outcomes Star approach
My Wellness Star is designed to be used as part of the Outcomes Star approach. That’s why we provide essential training and ongoing support to all licenced practitioners, so you can embed the Outcomes Star approach in your practice.
How does My Wellness Star work?
My Wellness Star covers ten key outcome areas that are essential to helping adults to manage their wellbeing, and assesses their progress towards each following a five-stage Journy of Change.
You and the people you support will fill out the Star together, and use it to better identify where their strengths lie and where they might need more help, and to make plans for moving forward along the journey.
