Community change : the complex nature of interventions to promote positive connections

, Jacqueline Barnes

Research output: Chapter in Book / Conference Paper › Chapter

Abstract

How well we flourish as individuals is fundamentally embedded in our interactions with others who share our world and the way this world is construed. Positive psychology has much to say about individual happiness, but we know from a wealth of research that sustainable wellbeing needs to be based in more than individual hedonism. One of the fundamental aspects of authentic wellbeing is the quality of relationships within communities, whether these are within families, schools, clubs, or neighborhoods (Roffey, 2012).
