“I can sum up positive psychology in just three words  —  other people matter. Period. Anything that builds relationships between and among people is going to make you happy.” – Dr. Chris Peterson

What is The Positivity Project?

The Positivity Project (P2) empowers students to build positive relationships and become their best selves by focusing on positive psychology’s 24 character strengths, such as bravery, perseverance, integrity, and gratitude. P2 partners with Pre-K–12 schools, providing the resources, training, and strategies to help students understand and apply these strengths. This holistic approach involves students, educators, and families, fostering a positive school culture that supports teaching and learning.
