Flourishing at Work- Optimising Employee Wellbeing and Resiliency 

Traditional approaches to mental health have focused on the identification and treatment of illness. The relatively new field of positive psychology however has a goal of helping individuals and organisations to flourish. Flourishing denotes a high level of mental wellbeing characterised by positive emotions, high levels of engagement, positive relationships, a strong sense of purpose, and feeling accomplished. This transformative psychological approach offers many scientifically validated techniques to not only remain resilient and prevent mental illness, but to also achieve optimal wellbeing. This has numerous benefits for individuals as well as the organisations that employ them. 

Key learning outcomes from the session include: 

  • Understand the difference between traditional psychology versus positive psychology

  • Learn about the flourishing model of wellbeing 

  • Discover various positive psychology methods to improve mental wellbeing at work - and at home!

The session will enable participants to learn about  the science of flourishing and come away with many practical, evidence based strategies to help promote wellbeing in the workplace and beyond.
