Theory Application
(PP) is a new and rapidly growing field that demonstrates what individuals, organizations and communities need in order to flourish by using science. Where traditional psychology focused on fixing what was wrong in a person, positive psychology aims to create more wellbeing, happiness and life satisfaction which research shows to be predictive of success. While philosophers have long investigated the nature of happiness, it was not until 1998 that scientists coalesced to explore well-being through systematic and multi-faceted research. To date, thousands of PP studies have been conducted and papers published. However, there are few organizations training individuals in this fresh knowledge and innovative set of practices. The Certificate in
Applied Positive Psychology (CAPP) is intended to benefit both individuals and those working with clients, organiza-tions and communities.
is designed around the model of Flourishing developed by Dr. Martin Seligman, founder of Positive Psychology, and enhanced with an added emphasis on physical wellbeing. It consists of six modules focusing on increasing Positivity,
Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, Achievement and Vitality (PERMA-VTM). Grad-uates integrate and enhance their personal and professional lives through their structured training in flourishing and measurably build their well-being.
to provide participants with the depth of knowledge, theory and research-based tools to demonstrate and share PP with others.

“I have two businesses, a chiropractic practice and a CrossFit gym. Wanting the best for all those I come in touch with, I joined CAPP to learn how to help my patients and gym members be happier. I highly recommend that any Homosapien (any maybe even other organisms) join this program, whether a professional or not.”
– Chris Stepien, DC, CAPP (Chiropractor, Entrepreneur)
“Least of all, CAPP has given me the tools to blend all the areas that I love (math, psychology and neuroscience, physical movement) into a career that I never tire of and keep wanting to see what's next. That's least of all. It also gave me a new way to approach my personal relationships with my parents, which I have been trying to work on for years and had little progress until CAPP. The most amazing part of the class is how it has changed the way I perceive and believe in myself.” – David Wolovsky, CAPP (Education Entrepreneur)
“As a lawyer, I’ve never been a fan of “touchy feely” ideas or claims that are not supported by evidence. That’s why I’m impressed with the field of positive psychology. CAPP, in particular, provides a comprehensive and intelligible overview positive psychology. The teachers use the academic and experiential methods to teach the research and application. This makes for an approach to learning that is both practical and informative -- not to mention fun!”
– Daryl Lander, JD, CAPP (Attorney)
‘How would your overall experience
of the CAPP program?’
98% Excellent 2% Very Good
“Joining CAPP is the best decision I have made in a long time. I’ve found that the positive psychology principles apply across all aspects of life: professional, personal, individual, family, teams, age, gender, and more. Learning these principles has had a huge, life changing impact on me and I know they will on others. I highly recommend this program!”
– Shari Ciapka, CAPP (Learning Manager at Cigna)
What our graduates are saying…
“My CAPP training has given me so many valuable tools to use with my clients. I feel that I am able to give people a full spectrum of tools, practices and guidance that enhances the work I do nutritionally. Through this work, I’m helping people flourish in every aspect of their lives.”
– Wendy Chauncey, CAPP, CPC (Wellness Coach)
“The Certificate in Applied Positive Psychology program has truly been a life changing experience for me. I am learning countless valuable tools that I find myself applying in my life on a daily basis. The personal growth that I have experienced as a result of this class has been profound and I believe will only continue to grow as I learn to master the tools that CAPP has introduced me to. The teachers are outstanding and their passion for their work shines through in their teaching. I think the CAPP course teaches invaluable tools that would be useful in anyone's life, both personal and professional, and I could not recommend the CAPP course with more enthusiasm!”
– Eliza Fraser, CAPP (Justice Fellow)
