About this Unit
What are the conditions that promote human health and happiness and enhance our capacity to bounce back from adversity? This unit will investigate the diverse range of interactive factors responsible for enabling wellbeing (beyond health) and resilience (ability to persist in inhospitable conditions). Drawing on newly emerging perspectives in psychology, education, sociology and ecology, students will develop practical tools suited to enabling wellbeing and resilience in a range of personal and social settings. Parallels within the personal, socio-cultural and ecological domains will be examined through critical examination of case studies and foundational principles, culminating in personally relevant student-initiated projects.
