Psychological Well Being and Resilience in Practice

(1 Credit Hour) · Undergraduate

This course teaches skills empirically demonstrated to improve resilience, well-being, and enhance flourishing. These skills are based on decades of research, especially in the fields of positive psychology, cognitive-behavioral psychology, and contextual behavioral science. The course emphasizes experiential learning of skills during class, applying skills to your personal experience, regular self-reflection, and daily practice and logging of skills between classes. Skill development and the resulting benefits are significantly enhanced through authentic connection, mutual support, and vulnerable dialogue, which will be emphasized in classroom discussion. Class attendance and participation are therefore essential and expected to benefit from the course.
