GRADUATE CERTIFICATE IN POSITIVE PSYCHOLOGY
In this course you will explore the history, development and practical applications of positive psychology for enhancing the wellbeing and resilience of individuals, groups, communities and organisations. This exploration, combined with contemporary theory, will provide you with an understanding of the multidimensional nature of wellbeing with relation to individual and collective flourishing. The course will draw from a range of models including Seligman’s (2011) PERMA model: Positive emotion, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, and Accomplishment, together with other elements of wellbeing such as resilience and optimism, and environmental, physical and ecological considerations. You will examine and evaluate system and behavioural change drivers and tools used to catalyse, motivate, and sustain positive change. Drawing on evidence-based theories, tools, and approaches, you will research, design and develop positive psychology interventions suitable for a range of settings and age groups.
