Human Flourishing Leadership Academy (HFLA) is a year-long program that focuses on individuals' and leaders’ personal and professional wellbeing/flourishing. Its purpose is to provide participants with the knowledge, skills, tools, support, and social network to enable them to "live well" personally, "do well" professionally, and lead their circle of influence to flourish as a community.

HFLA Key Components

Absence of mental illness and stress does not indicate one is doing well and flourishing (Keyes, 2016). To be well personally, and to do well professionally requires one to have good mental and physical health, have a sense of meaning and purpose in life, develop character and virtue, have good relationships, and be happy and satisfied with one’s life (VanderWeele, 2017).
