EDUCATION & LIFE & WELLNESS CONSULTANCY
Roselle Thompson believes that education is one of the factors that influences a person’s life chances, their growth and development and their progress in society, and holds the key to success in the future. Having education helps people think, feel, and behave in a way that contributes to their personal satisfaction within their community or the consequences can be dire.
Roselle’s personal creed, “I believe that everyone is entitled to have education from the cradle to the grave, without exception to race, ability, class, religion, and gender.” Therefore, I strive to make this a bold ambition to contribute towards its advancement in both individuals and society, despite obstacles that may come along the way!”
Expertly eradicating underachievement
For the past 30 years, Roselle Thompson has been working to educate pupils, advise schools, and parents in attempts to solve their children’s education problems or to deal with gaps in educational attainment. With her vast experience, Roselle has used her writing and story-telling talents (having won a Young Black Writers Award), to motivate pupils who are experiencing difficulties in mainstream schools. She helped pioneered efforts during the advent of Multicultural Education, in the early 1990’s, when many found it too difficult or challenging, as a new area of learning. Her approach embodies:
- Helping children recognise, understand, accept, appreciate, and use their talents and abilities to develop and create a vision for themselves, their families, their community; and raise their standard of educational attainment.
- Empowering parents to access skills, learn to manage conflict, and develop personal, social, and communicative skills for home/school/wider community interaction.
- Helping both parents and children, especially those who have become disaffected, underachieving, “at risk” of exclusion, and experiencing difficulties, with basic literacy and numeracy skills. These are known to impact on their emotions and behaviour, as well as their ability to access the curriculum, therefore parent support for these new experiences are essential.
Her many published educational textbooks are instruments Roselle use to cover the gamut of skills development needed, among children for their educational success.
Her passion to impart knowledge and provide support systems for educational needs are categorised as follows:
| Category | Aims |

CEO – TROPICAL HEALTH & WELLNESS
Let the Sunshine in!
Pioneering initiatives is not new to Roselle Thompson, so when she launched Tropical Health & Wellness, she demonstrated that thinking outside a prescribed career box helps to combine passion, cultural tradition and knowledge. Ms Thompson believes in evidenced-based use of integrative and alternative medicine practices that support the union of the mind, body, and spirit.
AIMS
Tropical Health & Wellness operates with an ethos that believes full health, without a balance between body, mind, and spirit, is impossible. So Roselle combined Caribbean traditional natural therapies, across mixed disciplines, to create products that promote physical, emotional, and mental balance. The overall focus is to heal the whole person, and enhance lifestyle factors, via a combination of integrative medicine, (conventional and alternative practices), that always bear in mind the promotion of good health; and prevention of illness, as the most important factors for us all.
MISSION
At Tropical Health & Wellness, the Mission is to help people achieve and maintain an optimal state of health. With a clear vision and strong values, we believe this is achievable, so that clients can enjoy their full mental, physical, and spiritual potential; through traditional and natural therapies and practices; with a focus on healthy and balanced nutrition.
COME AND JOIN TROPICAL HEALTH &
WELLNESS FORUM FOR MEN AND WOMEN
MEN’S FORUM
OBJECTIVES
Tropical Health & Wellness Men’s (THWMF) is a community health support group, which is part of the Tropical Health and Wellness company’s Community Outreach initiative. The THWMF is focused on health and empowerment issues for minority men and their families. The group is volunteer-led, with a key focus on empowering men; a most effective route to building and sustaining family, as well as community health and well-being.
We believe that uniting in our common cause, would help us to better understand and improve the health and wellbeing of men among minority communities in the UK, whilst tackling health inequalities. Our men need a space to feel seen, be heard and not feel judged. A space for healing and personal development, through social activities, and building solid relationships. We believe that our Forum could provide opportunities for change in the position and treatment of minority men in UK society; positively and significantly.
It is for this reason that the Tropical Health & Wellness Men’s Forum exists to redress the balance. We’re tackling mental, physical, and emotional health, as a community, by filling a void for our men across the UK.
CORE VALUES
Brotherhood, Collaboration, Community
We believe that Men’s health (esp. those from the minority community), needs change. Change must include providing the best information and support at each stage of our men’s health journey through life. The Forum is therefore set up to respond to the need for men’s holistic health within minority communities, and to help improve access to quality of care for them.
MISSION
Our mission is forming a brotherhood of collaboration and community, to work and campaign, to tackle health inequalities affecting minority men, promote health education and equal access to healthcare within the community. Our strength is rooted in bringing the community together, listening to and responding to their needs, and empowering them to interact and take action; in order to manage theirs and their families’ health and well-being.
