(NEW) Online Training – Positive Psychology: Enhancing Lasting Wellbeing. During Challenging Times

For years, surveys from around the world have shown that happiness tops the list of what most people want most in life. And for centuries, philosophers and theologians throughout the world have sought to answer the ancient and timeless question of how to build a happy and meaningful life. Even the Dalai Lama reminds us that “the purpose of life is to be happy.” Yet despite the importance we place on happiness, research has shown that rates of happiness have been on the decline for many around the world, spanning geography, demographics, and socioeconomic factors. And with hardship and trauma facing us seemingly constantly at home and abroad, how can we even begin to become happy amidst all these challenges?

These questions, and more, will be explored in this enriching hands-on course. Participants will learn to see happiness as a multifaceted and layered phenomenon, drawing on research from all around the world. After gaining an understanding of what happiness is and why it can feel so elusive, participants will explore 12 core principles for psychological well-being that can be cultivated during good times and bad. Merging fields like positive psychology, neuroscience, and longitudinal research on happiness and well-being, this course will provide attendees with practical skills to combat depression and anxiety and foster lasting well-being in their clients and themselves.
