School-Based Positive Psychology Interventions

Schools play an increasingly important role in assisting young people to develop the skills and mindsets that promote positive emotions, positive relationships, resilience and character strengths – not only as a way to improve wellbeing, but also to foster students’ academic performance.

According to Professor Lea Waters AM, PhD, these skills and mindsets can be explicitly taught with a scientifically evaluated approach that seeks to cultivate positive emotions, resilience and positive character strengths.
