𝐏𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐩𝐬𝐲𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬. 🌻

Last June 21, PPPA held its first-ever outreach program, 𝑯𝒂𝒑𝒑𝒚 𝑵𝒂𝒏𝒂𝒚, 𝑯𝒂𝒑𝒑𝒚 𝑩𝒂𝒉𝒂𝒚!: 𝑷𝒂𝒈𝒑𝒂𝒑𝒂𝒍𝒂𝒌𝒂𝒔 𝒏𝒈 𝑴𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒂𝒍 𝑯𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒕𝒉 𝒂𝒕 𝑻𝒊𝒃𝒂𝒚 𝒏𝒈 𝑳𝒐𝒐𝒃 𝒏𝒈 𝒎𝒈𝒂 𝑵𝒂𝒏𝒂𝒚, in partnership with the Beatus Circle Network of Nanays.

Together, we spent a meaningful morning celebrating mothers through positive psychology-based activities designed to strengthen wellbeing, build resilience, and foster connection. More than sharing knowledge, we shared stories, laughter, encouragement, and hope.

As PPPA's first outreach initiative, this marks the beginning of our commitment to bringing the science and practice of positive psychology beyond professional settings and into communities where it can make a meaningful difference.

To everyone who volunteered, partnered with us, and participated—thank you for making this milestone possible.

How do we turn research on wellbeing into meaningful action?

Positive psychology has given us decades of evidence on what helps people flourish. The next challenge is knowing how to apply that science in our everyday work and lives.

Join us as Vicki Cabrera, PhD introduces the PERMA+4 Framework, shares the latest research on human flourishing, and explores evidence-based positive psychology interventions that can help us better care for and improve wellbeing.

If you're a psychologist, educator, HR practitioner, coach, researcher, student, or simply passionate about positive psychology, we hope you'll learn with us.

The Philippine Positive Psychology Association (PPPA) is excited to launch its first-ever outreach program, "Happy Nanay, Happy Bahay!: Pagpapalakas ng Mental Health at Tibay ng Loob ng mga Nanay," on June 21, 2026, from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM at German Doctors, Phase 8A, Package 11, Brgy. 176-D, Bagong Silang, Caloocan.

This meaningful initiative is dedicated to celebrating and supporting the incredible mothers of the Beatus Circle Network of Nanays, whose participants have been nominated by the beneficiary organization. Through engaging activities, shared experiences, and positive psychology-based learning, the program aims to help mothers strengthen their emotional well-being, build resilience, and create deeper connections with one another.

As PPPA's first outreach effort, this program marks the beginning of a continuing commitment to bringing positive psychology beyond the classroom and into communities where it can make a lasting difference. We look forward to a day filled with learning, laughter, encouragement, and heartfelt moments as we honor the strength and dedication of every nanay.
