Awe, Wonder, and the Science of a Meaningful Life

Although the field of psychology has traditionally aimed to fix what's wrong, the sub-field of positive psychology instead helps us to build what's strong. In this webinar, attendees will learn about the nature of happiness, and discover research-backed methods drawn from positive psychology to lastingly increase well-being and resilience in our patients. Over the course of the day, we'll explore 10 research-backed principles for well-being that can decrease depression and anxiety while increasing happiness and well-being. Through lecture, clinical vignettes, and hands-on practice, you'll learn skills that can transform your clinical work.
