Understanding How Positive Emotions Support Health and Resilience

At the Positive Psychology & Health Investigation Group (PPHIG), we study how positive emotions help people navigate stress, support coping, and enhance overall wellbeing.

What We Do

We examine the role of positive emotions in daily life and develop evidence-based interventions that improve well-being across diverse health and life-stress contexts. Our work includes studies with people facing chronic illness, caregiving demands, frontline service stress, and community-based challenges.

Our team is regularly featured in national media and continues to expand collaborations and emotional well-being initiatives — from new mobile tools to university partnerships supporting resilience and happiness.
