But research shows these individual-focused wellbeing initiatives rarely improve outcomes. A landmark 2024 study from Cambridge University [1] found minimal evidence of lasting benefits and even potential harm.\u00a0 \u00a0This is perhaps not surprising, as when we focus on the individual, not the system, the inference is the <em>problem is with you<\/em>.
