This course gives teenagers a structured introduction to psychology's findings on happiness, stress and thriving at school and beyond. Each week pairs lessons with short 'happiness homework' assignments, so the ideas are tried out in everyday life rather than only discussed.
Teenagers are the main audience, but parents, teachers and other professionals who support young people may find the material useful. The listing notes the course does not carry Yale University credit, grade or student status, so approach it as a learning resource rather than an academic program.
A recent survey found that 37% of teens say they have poor mental health. This 6-week course aims to curb this mental health crisis by bringing together the best insights from Dr. Laurie Santos’ popular Yale course Psychology and the Good Life. In this course, you will explore what the field of psychology teaches us about how to be happier, how to feel less stressed, and how to thrive in high school and beyond. The lessons along with short weekly ‘happiness homework’ assignments will ultimately prepare you to put these scientific findings into practice. The ultimate goal is for you to feel better and build healthier habits. Parents, teachers, and other professionals supporting teenagers may also find the course beneficial.
Note: This course does not confer Yale University grade, credit or student status.
THE SCIENCE OF WELL-BEING FOR TEENS WAS PRODUCED IN PART DUE TO THE GENEROUS FUNDING OF THE ARTHUR M. BLANK FAMILY FOUNDATION AND THE JOHN TEMPLETON FOUNDATION.
