Together. Forward. Bold. An Exceptional Place Where Everyone Thrives.
The Midland Area Wellbeing Coalition is a group of over 120 members of the Midland Community who are working to help Midland achieve its vision: Together. Forward. Bold. An exceptional place where everyone thrives.
Our coalition’s specific vision is that Midland is a healthy community where everyone belongs, feels safe, and thrives. All stakeholders invest in creating wellbeing and work together to become a recognized community where all citizens are flourishing in measurable and visible ways. This legacy of caring has been passed down to us and we commit to carrying it forward.
The Midland Area Wellbeing Coalition is supported by the Community Success Panel. The coordinator is Kathy Snyder and the leadership team consists of Maureen Donker (Midland Mayor & Councilman Ward 2), Bridgette Gransden (Administrator/Controller for the County of Midland) , Holly Miller (Executive Director of United Way of Midland County), Sharon Mortensen (Executive Director of Midland Area Community Foundation), and Beverlee Wenzel (Executive Director of The ROCK Center for Youth Development).

“Wellbeing is your ability to feel good and function effectively!”
Professor Felicia Huppert
Martin Seligman and others found that the PERMAH framework is an easy way for people to understand, measure, and take action around the well-established, evidence-based elements of wellbeing.
Wellbeing Life Hacks are simple evidence-based ways to build wellbeing and are accessible to everyone! Built around a wellbeing model of PERMAH, each Wellbeing Life Hack will build a different component of wellbeing: Positive Emotions, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, Accomplishment, and Health.
Ever felt like stress was just piling up, and you couldn’t shake it off? How about sleepless nights or racing thoughts?
Do you sometimes feel overwhelmed by stress or struggle to focus on tasks? Have you ever thought about how things like hobbies, exercise, or even gaming can actually be good for you?
Have you ever found yourself trying to control things that you really don’t need to? How might giving away control lead to a more productive and fulfilling work or home environment?
