Preparing for life Challenges
It was in 1907 when Robert Baden-Powell famously explained that to be prepared “you are always in a state of readiness in mind and body to do your duty.” Baden-Powell wanted each Scout to be ready in mind and body, to meet with a strong heart, whatever challenges await him’.
Our work acknowledges Baden-Powells desires, the psychology of Alfred Adler & his work on “Style of Life”, and Agatha Bowley’s child psychology work, to call for more services for children, parents, grandparents and teachers that enable children to “be prepared” by encouraging support services that arise from nourishing the strong roots of Lifestyle Health
Our vision & mission includes a desire for the provision of more services that empower people to more freely express emotions. Our initial work has been to:
Encourage the sharing of existing & new resources + research evidence, that guide people of grandparenting age, parents and teachers to support the social & emotional development of children through the early years of life, via our online resources library
Create a “platform”, SmartTracker, that recognises that emotions and values significantly impact a person’s quality of life.
Encourage Healthcare & Medical scientific communities as well as Governments to recognise the significance of emotional health & lived/living experiences in supporting the healing and prevention of acquired Mind Injuries.
Featuring the wonderful wildlife photography of Dave Burden
So who is Dave Burden?
Dave is an Amature Photographer that has been published in The Amature Photographer Magazine and in four Kent Wildlife Trust magazines in the past.
He took up Photography when he retired 15 years ago as a hobby, and today his passion is Wildlife and its Conservation.
Dave has a few permissions on private land where he likes to take his pictures in the peace and quite away from crowds of people, he also takes his images in his local surrounding countryside. He spends many, many hours waiting for the shot he desires, because for Dave, photography always comes second, to the wildlife.
To learn more about what drew Dave into the world of wildlife photography and see more of his wonderful photos just visit this page.
Why a Tree to represent the Lifestyle Health Foundation?
When you stop to look at a tree, do you ever entertain the thought that it has a lifestyle? I’m guessing the answer is likely to be no, as it was for me, up until a few weeks ago. Perhaps if the word is turned around, and it becomes a tree’s ‘style of life’, it may not seem quite so strange. After all, trees have a life. But, what about the ‘style’? Read more
In his 15 min talk, P-CNS Exec Director, Neil Bindemann PhD, takes the viewer through, in simple logical steps, some of the science to explain why and how the answer to our wellness lies the expression of all emotion. You can watch it from here
If you have experience or a relative has experience a brain injury, here we provide a selection of short summaries from the science that helps to explain how changes concerning the food we eat and the nature of the general ‘environment’ to support our wellbeing can enhance the success of a rehab programme after a brain injury.

Ordinary People; Extraordinary Lives.
Over the coming weeks & months, we will organising conversation with members of our community for them share insights from their lived experiences, for you to learn from. In this first conversation please enjoy the insights from two very ‘ordinary’ men, Chris Freer living with Multiple Sclerosis & Chris Lewis with a diagnosis of a rare cancer. You can watch it from here.
The Roots of Lifestyle Health
For those lucky enough to have a garden and you are a keen gardener who enjoys growing their own fruit and veg, you will know that preparing the ground is an important first step. This typically requires digging in the compost, before you, or perhaps with your children’s help, start sowing the seeds. It was those thoughts that lead to the article you can read from here.
