Positive Psychology

Facilitator: Leah Frost (Human Psychology)
Target group: All staff
Duration: 3hrs

We are biologically programmed to filter for the negative, as a primitive survival response to detect and avoid threats. A conscious and consistent focus on generating positive experiences helps to counteract this negativity bias. Happiness is a work ethic and our brains require training through the consistent application of scientific positive psychology principles. 

Learning outcomes: 

Following this workshop, participants will understand: 

  • What positive psychology is, how it works and the neuroscience of happiness  
  • The Wellbeing Model – PERMA+
