Workshops & Events

Positive psychology is a topic area within the field of psychology that seeks to provide scientific answers to the question "What is the good life?" Positive psychology is not a modality for treating psychological disorders. The Canadian Positive Psychology Association (CPPA) offers learning opportunities about positive psychology through educational events such as workshops and conferences. CPPA does not offer psychological services of any kind. Anyone seeking counseling, therapy or other forms of (mental) health services is advised to consult a licensed (mental) health services professional. Membership in CPPA does not provide members with any credentials or certification to practice, does not qualify someone as a psychologist, or allow them to offer psychological services.

    The CPPA is proud to work in partnership with the Flourishing Centre to bring the Certificate in Applied Positive Psychology (CAPP) program to our Canadian community.



    CAPP graduates feel empowered that they know the science behind happiness, well-being and flourishing, so that when people say, “Why should I invest in becoming happier?” Graduates can share facts like, “Research shows happy people are physically healthier, they have stronger social networks, they achieve more and have even been found to live longer.”



    Certification offers personal and professional rewards to the individual who attains it. Because the CAPP program is ICF approved to award CCE hours, coaches receive a total of 36 CCE's upon graduation. Certification validates specialty knowledge, enhances professional credibility, and contributes to feelings of personal accomplishment.


    This certification program consists of 7 On Sites that meet at an on-site location and 17 Distance Learning Modules that meet virtually. (The location of the on-site meetings will be announced as the dates get closer.) All On Sites meet from 9 AM - 6 PM on Saturday and Sunday.


    CAPP Toronto will begin on Oct 5, 2019.

    • OS 1 (Positivity) Oct 5 & 6, 2019
    • OS 2 (Positivity) Nov 2 & 3, 2019
    • OS 3 (Engagement) Dec 7 & 8, 2019

    The Distance Learning Module schedule is available upon registration. All On Sites and Distance Learning classes are recorded in case you’re absent, so you never miss the content.
