Positive 2012 LogoPositive2012 is a conference not to be missed. A unique conference, starting with optional pre-conference workshops looking over Circular Quay near Sydney Harbour, followed by an opportunity to participate in the Good Mood Safari in Wollongong, the most novel positive psychology outdoor tourist experience you will ever experience. Or for later starters you can attend the free Emerging Researchers Symposium at the Wollongong site of the Sydney Business School. On Friday evening the conference officially opens looking over the beautiful North Wollongong beach from Novotel Northbeach. Saturday’s proceedings will combine the best set of speakers on positive psychology and wellbeing ever assembled in Australia in one place across four “beams” to help us spotlight the future of positive psychology and wellbeing.

Dr Wong's Workshop on MCCT

Dr Paul Wong will be presenting a workshop at Positive 2012 on Meaning-Centered Counselling and Therapy (MCCT).

The meaning-centered approach is integrative, holistic, existential and evidence-based with a focus on the positive psychology of meaning and spirituality. It invites people on a personal journey of healing and transformation, and provides the strategies and skills to cope with personal predicament and live a purposeful and worthy life.

By participating in this intensive workshop, you will learn the basic theory and practice of MCCT in addressing various clinical issues, such as depression, grieving, PTSD, and addiction.

You will learn the necessary tools to restore hope and meaning for those in the depth of brokenness and despair.
