ForwardPositive Psychology: Enhancing Human Functioning and Flourishing (April 26, 2024)
The Department of Rehabilitation Psychology and Special Education is offering two training sessions in positive psychology. Positive psychology is the study of human flourishing. It is an emerging field involving a departure from traditional clinical psychology’s pathology focus, instead focusing on what is “right” in human beings, and strategies for enhancing those experiences. This two-part workshop offers an overview of the key tenets of positive psychology and their application through an interactive discussion on models of well-being and psychological states promoting a strengths-focused, developmental, and growth mindset. Participants will leave with a greater understanding of positive psychology along with knowledge of practical approaches for enhancing human flourishing in clinical practice and in one's day-to-day life.
