Description: Our children do not live in a world where belief systems and bodies of knowledge are passed from generation to generation without external influences. Rather, today’s child must face a veritable smorgasbord of information from which to choose. Our children must be able to adapt and process all this varied information easily and peacefully, so that they can make the best choices for themselves and the world as a whole (Lee, 2007).

Positive psychology emphasizes the use of science to better understand 
how we can optimize our human functioning and achieve the life we want.

This workshop will introduce the core assumptions and research findings of this science and will offer a way to better understand and appreciate how the power of positive psychology can promote a student’s psychological and physical health that will lead to academic success.
