Australian Positive Psychology Association

The Australian Positive Psychology Association is a new, online community network designed to allow people interested in positive psychology to get in touch with each other!

It aims to:

• promote the science of positive psychology and its research-based applications,
• facilitate collaboration among researchers, teachers, students, and practitioners of positive psychology around the world and across academic disciplines,
• share the findings of positive psychology with the broadest possible audience and with a strong focus on Australian and Australasian researchers and practitioners,
• foster dialogue with the international Positive Psychology community.

APPA is inclusive and will represent a wide range of interests and industries, including:

• Business and Management, Economics/Politics, Human Resources, Law, Public Sector/Government;
• Clinical/Counseling, Coaching, Education, Health, Psychologists;
• Exercise and Sports, Students, and Pastoral Care.

We expect APPA to offer professional development programs, conferences, newsletters, and special interest groups, and to foster the development of training and education in Positive Psychology.
