Psychology Spring Series—Fresh perspectives on wellbeing

Three researchers from different areas of the University discuss their fresh perspectives on wellbeing.

Wellbeing is on everyone’s mind and there is an abundance of offerings addressing people’s interests in it. But what do we actually know about wellbeing, and when and how do we need to take care?

This panel discussion moderated by Dr Georgia Carson, Tautotoro Māori Engagement, Malaghan Institute, brings together three researchers from Te Kura Mātai Hinengaro, School of Psychology at Te Herenga Waka-Victoria University of Wellington to discuss their fresh perspectives on wellbeing. The bases of the discussion will be science of relationships, clinical psychology, and Kaupapa Māori perspectives.
