What is ELIA Wellness?
ELIA stands for Empowering Lifestyle Innovation Advocates and is an initiative of Adventist Health.
ELIA Wellness exists to empower people to experience whole-person health and to equip individuals, churches and communities to share health, healing and hope.
Our approach recognises that flourishing involves more than physical health. ELIA’s 7 Dimensions of Wellness encompass our physical, emotional, social, intellectual, vocational, environmental and spiritual wellbeing.
Through practical lifestyle programs, facilitator training, community Wellness Hubs, resources, research and lifestyle medicine initiatives, ELIA helps people turn evidence-based health principles into everyday action.
Join the movement
Across Australia, New Zealand and beyond, a growing network of ELIA Wellness Hubs is helping churches connect with their communities through whole-person health.
Come and find us at the ELIA Wellness Booth throughout Big Camp.ELIA Wellness is a Health Promotion Charity and an Adventist Health Initiative
