Workshop Description

Positive psychology (PP) is the scientific study of optimal human functioning to help people flourish. This workshop on Positive Psychology is a foundation course to help attendees not only understand the research on the core themes of positive psychology, but also equip attendees with the 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 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 in themselves, their clients, and society.  

 

Learning Objectives

After the completion of this webinar, participants will be able to:

  • 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 of their choosing. (social work practice, coaching, education, health care, etc.)
  • Conceptualize how to integrate positive psychology interventions in the clinician’s primary therapeutic approach.

This workshop is approved for 3.0 continuing education credit hours.
