Positive psychology (PP) is the scientific study of optimal human functioning to help people flourish. This Positive Psychology is a foundation course to help attendees not only understand the research on the core themes of positive psychology but also equip clinicians with helpful positive interventions in various area areas of clinical social work practice.

Currently, positive psychology has evolved from its narrow focus on positive emotions, positive traits, and positive institutions (Seligman & Csikszentmihalyi, 2000) to positive psychology 2.0 (Kashdan & Biswas-Diener, 2014; Wong, 2011) which focuses on the totality of the person and the positive potentials in both positive and negative conditions.
Positive Psychology is a strengths-based perspective that applies to individuals who aspire to promote the well-being of themselves, their clients, and society.

Who Should Attend: 

Social Workers, Mental Health Counselors, Creative Arts Therapists, Marriage and Family Therapists, and any professional that is working in the mental health field. 

Learning Objectives:

  • Identify the main themes of positive psychology and critique its limitations.
  • Apply positive interventions to enhance happiness, resilience, meaning, etc.
  • Utilize these positive interventions in a professional setting (social work practice, coaching education, healthcare, etc.)
