Unit 8: Conclusion

Congratulations on reaching the end of the course!

Bounce back: How positive psychology can give a post-pandemic boost to your family’s wellbeing has introduced you to some of the latest evidence-based techniques from positive psychology that have proven benefits on wellbeing within the family.

You have explored how understanding and developing your character strengths can have a positive impact on your family’s wellbeing and have been introduced to some evidence-based interventions to develop your capacity for savouring, gratitude, kindness, hope and meaning.

We hope you have enjoyed exploring these techniques with your family. As you have discovered during the course, research suggests that the effect of these interventions is cumulative. The more you practise these types of interventions the greater the effect they are likely to have.
