Same Six Pillars, Two Vocabularies
In Aging Well

- RelationshipsBelonging, support, connection
- MeaningDirection, purpose, what matters
- AccomplishmentGrowth, capability, momentum
- HealthSleep, movement, energy
LiveWell
The same six dimensions reframed in the language of perma4plus.com/LiveWell. Action-oriented pillar names emphasise the practice (building, cultivating, maintaining, learning) over the abstract concept.
- Building Emotional ResilienceSteadiness through hard moments
- Knowing MeSelf-awareness, strengths, identity
- Cultivating Inclusion & BelongingShowing up for + with others
- Maintaining PurposeDirection and meaning over time
- Learning & GrowingCuriosity, skill, momentum
- Optimizing HealthPhysical foundation for wellbeing
Side-by-Side Mapping
The two framings sit on top of the same 30-or-so items in the question bank. A respondent who completes the In Aging Well form generates the same answer values as a respondent on LiveWell; only the section headers and dashboard labels differ. This lets you serve a single instrument to two audiences without forking the data model.
