Insight Into Wellbeing 10-Week Program
Through Discovery and Understanding We Expand our Minds and Transform Lives
“This program taught me that there is hope, there is a way out…Hope starts with a thought.”
— Jordan Brimlow, Former Insight to Wellbeing Participant
The Insight Alliance's flagship initiative, Insight to Wellbeing is our evidence-based, group dialogue program.
Insight to Wellbeing is our 10-week program designed to build resilience, emotional intelligence, and personal agency. Grounded in the belief that no one is broken, it helps participants uncover their innate wisdom through guided conversations, reflection, and personal insights.
Sessions are held weekly for 1–1.5 hours in groups of 10–20, creating a safe space for self-exploration and growth. Participants gain a deeper understanding of their minds, how thought shapes experience, empowering them to navigate challenges like trauma, addiction, incarceration, and everyday stress with greater confidence and clarity.
The impact is profound. Research shows that Insight to Wellbeing reduces depression, anxiety, and destructive behaviors, with many participants experiencing a renewed sense of purpose, emotional stability, and self-belief. Our goal is to break harmful cycles and support youth and adults in building healthier, more hopeful lives.

“This class helped me see the value—or lack of value—I give my thoughts. It created space for epiphanies and showed me the power of applying this in my life. I’ve found relief, peace and healing from a decade of self-destruction and pain. For that I’m forever grateful.”
