Life Enhancement Program
 We are pleased to announce
that the Life Enhancement Program is currently available
at Northside West Clinic.
At The Northside Group we believe that
the absence of disease is paramount in the creation of
health and to this end have developed successful, evidenced-based
programs for the management and treatment of mental illness.
However, we also believe that the creation of wellbeing should not be defined
just by the absence of disease but also by the presence of life enhancing endeavours
(activities, behaviours, pursuits) that assist in the promotion of peace, contentment
and happiness.
The Northside Group has added to its existing health program for managing and
treating mental illness, a Life Enhancement Program for the creation of wellbeing.
This package is based on the latest research from social scientists who believe
that a complete science and practice in psychology should both relieve suffering
and increase happiness and wellbeing. These researchers also believe that positive
psychological interventions designed to increase wellbeing should supplement
mental health treatments rather than replace them.
What is the Life Enhancement Program?
The Life Enhancement Program is a well researched and carefully designed program
as opposed to an ad hoc collection of alternative therapies or workshops.
The program was developed as a means of enhancing wellbeing by offering a range
of workshops and products designed to increase understanding of the factors
involved in wellbeing, and to encourage practise of a range of skills to assist
in creating joy and happiness.
The Life Enhancement Program comprises three packages: Vitality, Wisdom and
Humanity. These packages are all optional and the workshops and seminars are
complimentary.
Vitality
The products and workshops for Vitality relate to physical wellbeing. Vitality
can be defined as the ability to maximise energy, liveliness and invigoration.
Workshops:
- Mindfulness Skills 1 (Body Awareness)
- Food as Medicine
- Increasing Pleasure
- Individual Personal Exercise Program
Wisdom
Wisdom relates to the mind or intellect and is defined as the ability to discern
what is true or right for the individual.

Humanity
Humanity relates to the condition or quality of being fully human. The aim
of this package is to enlighten participants about the qualities that constitute
what it means to be heartfelt, such as awareness, gratitude, hope, love and
compassion, and to assist participants in becoming more peaceful, content and
happy.
