Announcements

New Harbinger Publications has released their latest episode of Evidence-Based where I talk about A Happier You with Cassie and Kendall. Evidence-Based a psychology podcast featuring experts in the field of mental health. Hope you tune in!

Being connected to others is a basic human need. But how do we create relationships that help us thrive in a time of heightened stress and uncertainty? And how can positive psychology guide us in strengthening our human bonds?

In this one-hour presentation, I will explore the social side of happiness, share research findings, and provide an overview of the online Master of Applied Positive Psychology program at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine.

The event takes place on Tuesday, June 21st at 4 pm ET / 7 pm PT and you can register here.

I had the pleasure of talking to USA Today writer Kim Painter about happiness habits for Mental Health Awareness Month. Check out the article here!

I am grateful to the counseling department, staff, and 9th grade students at Villa Maria Academy High School for making the Building Habits of Happiness workshop today such a success. I was so impressed by the students’ enthusiasm, courage, and kindness as we explored the 7 practices from A Happier You. From sharing strengths to getting in touch with gratitude, the level of positive energy in the auditorium was off the charts!  VMA is a school that truly cares about well-being. Special thanks to Sally Jeffries for creating this opportunity.
