My aspiring mentors and professors have been Kelly McGonigal (stanford University) Sonja Lyubomirsky, Neuroscientist Rick Hanson,
an expert in the theory, science and application of positive psychology and use this knowledge to help individuals, organizations and communities build the six pathways of flourishing: enhanced positive emotions, experiences of engagement, meaning, authentic positive relationships, accomplishment and vitality. Positive psychology practitioners use validated measures of well-being and tested interventions to inform their work. They also use this knowledge in flourishing to create and test new interventions.
This 200-hour 6-month program is certified by The Flourishing Center and designed around the model of Flourishing developed by Dr. Martin Seligman, founder of Positive Psychology, with an added emphasis on physical well-being. It consists of six modules focusing on Positivity, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, Achievement and Vitality (PERMA-V).
