Background of the Program - Teaching People to Be Well
The Wellness Inventory is based on the pioneering work of John W. Travis, MD,
MPH, recognized as a founder of the wellness movement. Dr. Travis was a
protégé of Dr. Louis Robbins, creator of the Health Risk Appraisal, while a
resident at John's Hopkins and working with the US Public Health Service.
In the early 1970s influenced by the pioneering work of Abraham Maslow and
his concept of self-actualization, and other early leaders in the human potential
movement, he decided to dedicate his life to "teaching people to be well" rather
than treating patients.
He opened the first wellness center in the US in 1975) and created the first
wellness assessment (Wellness Inventory) as the intake for the center. The work
at his wellness center was based on a forerunner of the coaching model, in which
the client was the expert in his/her own life and had a co-creative relationship with
the center's wellness facilitators. Dr. Travis authored the classic Wellness
Workbook (Celestial Arts, 1981, 2004, 3rd Ed) which has been used by wellness
and health promotion educators in universities for 25 years.
Technical Support:

"The Wellness Inventory is a refreshing approach after years of "strictly by
the numbers" HRAs that tell you how old you ought to be or why you are not
already dead. Intuitive in its approach, the Wellness Inventory results seem to have a knack

is both informative and educational. The Wellness Inventory provides a valuable tool for better living."
