Embracing positive psychology in the workplace has the capacity to have a huge impact on the life of an organisation and its staff.

This course is designed for professionals from all career stages, particularly in health, education and business contexts, who want to enhance the experience of staff, clients and people within their organisation. Participants come from a variety of disciplines, meaning you will study alongside a diverse range of peers. The course provides scientifically-grounded approaches to understanding and supporting wellbeing personally and professionally.
