Positive psychology (PP) is a new and rapidly growing field that demonstrates what individuals, organizations and communities need in order to flourish. Where traditional psychology focused on fixing what was wrong in a person, positive psychology aims to create more wellbeing, happiness and life satisfaction. While philosophers have long investigated the nature of happiness, it was not until 1998 that scientists coalesced to explore well-being through systematic and multi-faceted research. To date, thousands of PP studies have been conducted and papers published. However, there are few organizations training individuals in this fresh knowledge and innovative set of practices. The Open Center is therefore delighted to offer one of the first certificate programs in the country in both the theory and application of Positive Psychology. It is intended to benefit both individuals and those working with clients, organizations and communities.
This 150-hour, 6-month program is designed around the model of Flourishing developed by Dr. Martin Seligman, founder of Positive Psychology, with an added emphasis on physical well-being. It consists of six modules focusing on Positivity, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, Achievement and Vitality (PERMA-V).
Each module includes:
• 1 weekend on site.
• 1 online webinar with a leading PP expert.
• 2 tele-classes with online videos.
• 1 interview call with a positive psychology practitioner.
Each module is designed to provide participants with the depth of knowledge, theory, tools and research to demonstrate and teach PP to others. The materials provided include reusable power points, research summary pages, measurement tools and worksheets. The certificate will be of special interest to educators, coaches, managers, consultants, human resource personnel, executives, leaders, facilitators, yoga teachers, nutritionists, body workers, doctors, psychologists and other mental health/wellness practitioners.
