Join us for an insightful one-hour webinar delving into positive psychology.

The goal of positive psychology is to identify one’s core strengths and values in the service of building resilience and healthy coping strategies to address life’s challenges. By promoting a growth mindset and supporting active engagement, positive psychology may be of critical benefit when addressing the avoidance and fear-based responses that accompany anxiety disorders in adolescents and young adults.

Learning Objectives

  • Recognize and describe the basics of the anxiety response and autonomic system recovery.
  • Analyze the activation of the sympathetic nervous system and the synthesis of the parasympathetic nervous system.
  • Discuss and summarize the primary components of positive psychology, employing a strengths-based approach facilitating active growth and well-being.
  • Apply positive psychology techniques in the treatment of anxiety disorders by employing strategies to cultivate a growth mindset among clients and counteract avoidance behaviors associated with the fear response.
