Announcing our wellbeing lecture series

25 Sep 2018

We are delighted to confirm that as part of our wellbeing calendar of events for this year, we will be launching a new wellbeing lecture series

Open to both staff and students, the one-hour lecture series will introduce leading experts discussing a range of topics relating to wellbeing.

Friday, 26 October 12pm-1pm

Sukh Pabial – Positive Psychology 

In this session, Sukh Pabial from Challenging Frontiers will primarily discuss and focus on the PERMA model as taken from Professor Martin Seligman. The PERMA model helps give practical insight into what we can do to improve wellbeing and resilience.

When we focus on these aspects, we are better able to feel in control of our lives, make more purposeful decisions about life choices, and have better longer feelings of positivity and happiness. This will be an entertaining session, with Sukh provoking you with his questions, and getting you to do lots of valuable thinking. Book via Eventbrite.
