Positive Psychotherapy, Psychodrama, and Role-playing
Cultivating Well-being Through Character Strengths

Program Description:
This microcourse is part of a 3-course microcredential, the Hope Leadership Program.
What makes life worth living—not just surviving, but truly flourishing? What if you could harness your unique inner strengths to lead with greater purpose, clarity, and confidence?
In this foundational session, you’ll dive into the world of positive psychology—the scientific study of human flourishing. Grounded in research and real-world application, this session focuses on character strengths and virtues as essential building blocks for personal growth, resilience, and leadership.
Through interactive learning and self-reflection, you’ll:
- Discover the VIA Classification of Character Strengths and Virtues, a powerful tool for understanding what’s best in you and others.
- Identify your own signature strengths and learn how to use them more effectively in daily life and leadership.
- Explore Positive Psychotherapy (PPT) techniques—evidence-based interventions that promote healing, hope, and transformation.
- Understand how overusing, underusing, or optimally using your strengths can lead to different emotional and relational outcomes.
Whether you're a leader, educator, caregiver, or simply someone passionate about living more fully, this session will help you unlock the strengths that already live within you—and show you how to use them to thrive.
Are you ready to lead from your strengths?
