Positive Psychology Training
Welcome to the Positive Psychology Training Program
I took the 12-week online Positive Psychology course last year. It helped me absorb the concepts of positive psychology and understand how to apply the science to everyday life. It was a perfect combination of video lectures, homework assignments, group discussions, and support. I highly recommend the class. ~ Julie Price

Positive Psychology is the scientific study of positive emotions, strengths-based character, and healthy institutions that lead to optimal human functioning. The Positive Psychology movement has been hailed by TIME Magazine as perhaps the "single most important breakthrough in the effort to tap human potential and help people cope with modern day stress and day-to-day challenges."
