Workplace wellbeing is entering the mainstream of social change. However, managers, leaders and teams are facing constant stress, microaggressions, anxiety and burnout, as well as the early onset of chronic illness. Leaders and teams need insights, knowledge and tools to strengthen workplace wellbeing now.

The Changemaker Wellbeing Summit builds on Future of Good’s written and live journalism from the past four years covering how Canada’s social purpose teams and changemakers adapted through the COVID-19 pandemic. Many organizations had to close their doors or pause operations, and many more are at risk of closing or pausing. Many leaders and teams continued to experience stress, anxiety and burn out. Funding was in abundance in some sub-sectors and scarce in others. Post-pandemic, affordability, financial precarity, mental health and inflation has only increased demand and pressure of social purpose organizations. But most of all, the wellbeing of workers in social purpose teams declined, continues to suffer and shows no significant signs of improvement. 

Presented by Co-operators, Future of Good’s first-ever 2024 Changemaker Wellbeing Summit is a unique professional experience that aims to convene social purpose teams in a safe learning setting to gain insights and advance action on workplace wellbeing.

The 2024 summit will host a mix of talks, practical workshops, discussions, peer learning, and artistic experiences on critical topics such as mental health, sleep, financial precarity, maternal health, intergenerational trauma, inclusion and belonging, climate anxiety, and more.
