About the Workshop

How can we help our clients ameliorate symptoms of mental illness, but also live in a state of optimal well-being? The field of positive psychology offers solutions. Over the course of two days, participants will be introduced to evidence-based positive psychology interventions to supplement clinical practice.

Over the course of this two-day workshop, Kalpana Parekh, MSW, LCSW (bio) will teach participants evidence-based positive psychology interventions that can help clients cultivate positive emotion, strengthen engagement and flow, enhance relationships, find meaning and purpose, set and meet goals, and enhance physical vitality. Participants will find these interventions to be of both professional and personal benefit
