 Webinar on Positive Psychology: 

"Be the best you - Positive Psychology in practice”


Greece 

- On Friday, April 16th, 2021, a webinar on Positive Psychology was held within the framework of Erasmus +, entitled "Be the best you - Positive Psychology in practice”. 

The webinar was organized by the 3rd Primary School of Dionysos and was attended by teachers from all the collaborating schools of the project “Change your Lifestyle”. 

The webinar was held by Niki Liva, Psychologist-Psychotherapist. During her presentation, Ms. Liva initially referred to the contribution of Positive Psychology, the improvement of mental resilience, and consequently to the shielding of our mental health. She also presented in detail the characteristics that act as a sedative against mental illness and improve people's life expectancy (courage, optimism, hope, perseverance, work ethic, interpersonal skills, etc.). 

In addition, Ms. Liva presented a comprehensive list of techniques that help reduce stress and negative emotions, thus improving our mental mood and well-being. She focused on the negative impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on human psychology, as well as on how we can maintain a positive mood, emotional balance, and peace of mind during the difficult periods of confinement and isolation imposed by the need for restraint. A discussion about the effect of lockdown and school suspension on the emotional world of children followed. 

The teachers had the opportunity to share their experiences and discuss with the speaker, ways on how to manage difficult emotional situations and reduce stress. All participants agreed that during such a globally uncertain time, in which difficult social conditions contribute to the rapid development of various psychosocial problems in children, adolescents, and adults, changing direction from handling disorders to promoting mental health and life satisfaction is excessively important.
