Positive Relationships: Developing Relationship Skills in Our Clients

Human beings are social animals and the relationships we cultivate can have a profound effect on our wellbeing. Good relationships are the building blocks on which flourishing futures are built from our earliest moments. If we can increase the positive influence of our relationships, we can increase the positive emotions we experience, regulate our emotions more effectively and become more resilient. This course draws on social neuroscience as well as studies of relationships across different disciplines and domains, sharing new insights and tools to help clients cultivate positive, healthy relationships. Practices such as kindness, compassion and forgiveness are some of the ways people can develop relationship-building skills in themselves and tap into altruistic tendencies and potential.
