The science of positive psychology gives us the perspective and tools to increase our happiness. But it’s also more than that. This study is about building the capacity to see ourselves and the world through a more grounded, optimistic lens, so we can manage life’s ups and downs with greater ease and wisdom.
In the Certificate in Wholebeing Positive Psychology (CiWPP), we explore positive psychology and examine who we are when we are at our best. This clarity about what is true and good and strong within us provides us with options that support impactful, positive change.
