The Human Happiness Project
Overview:
JOYD Foundation is an Australian charity registered with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC), focused on suicide prevention through film, education, physical movement, and community connection.
Through the Human Happiness Project, the Foundation brings credible research on happiness, wellbeing, and resilience to life through storytelling. Its Happiness Series and free online videos make this knowledge accessible, sharing ideas and practical insights that people can explore in their everyday lives.
In collaboration with academic institutions and researchers, the Foundation creates films and free educational content that bridge the gap between research and lived experience. Alongside community wellness events, this work aims to inspire connection, encourage conversations about mental health, and support happier, more connected communities.
