Untangling the Jingle-Jangle: Building Clarity in Mental Health and Wellbeing
If you’re working in the wellbeing and mental health space, you’ve probably bumped up against the “jingle-jangle” problem, where different terms are used for the same ideas, or the same word gets stretched to mean different things. The result? Confusion that makes it harder to design programmes, measure impact, and communicate clearly with clients, learners, or leaders.
This session shares the results of a landmark study that cut through that noise. Using a rigorous Delphi method with 122 international experts, the research team reached consensus on 19 dimensions of positive mental health, building a clear taxonomy that offers a common language for wellbeing.
What you’ll gain:
-
A practical framework you can use to design and deliver programmes that are scientifically grounded and easy to communicate.
-
Clarity on what really counts when measuring mental health and wellbeing.
-
Insights into how this taxonomy can shape education, coaching, and workplace strategies.
This is your chance to step behind the science and take away tools that make your wellbeing practice sharper, more credible, and more impactful.
