Upward Flourish Positive Psychology

Positive psychology is the science of happiness and well-being — the results of new and extraordinary research that help people and institutions to thrive. Since WW2, psychologists have focused almost exclusively on the treatment of mental disease and ‘fixing what is wrong’. Entire healthcare systems are built around the treatment of disorder. This focus on illness is indeed an important goal but has sadly overshadowed the development of strengths or growth, even when we are not sick. Does the absence of mental illness automatically lead to perfect mental health? Of course not! Too many are simply languishing at such a point without the tools or knowledge to savour more happiness and live an engaged and meaningful life. Positive psychology is a field that aims to focus the attention of research scientists on elements that make our lives worth living: true enjoyment, engagement or being in ‘the zone’, positive relationships, finding meaning in life, and accomplishing our goals and dreams, to name a few. Upward Flourish empowers individuals, groups, and companies to develop positively through evidence-based courses and toolkits. We are not simply enthusiasts of this exciting field. Our team consists of various highly qualified specialists including graduates of the MAPP degree (Master of Applied Positive Psychology) - a specialized university degree only offered by about 15 Universities worldwide; Medical doctors and Ph.D. graduates in Human Resources specializing in corporate strategy and organizational development.
