About the Course

A recent survey found that 37% of teens say they have poor mental health. This 6-week course aims to curb this mental health crisis by bringing together the best insights from Dr. Laurie Santos’ popular Yale course Psychology and the Good Life. In this course, you will explore what the field of psychology teaches us about how to be happier, how to feel less stressed, and how to thrive in high school and beyond. The lessons along with short weekly ‘happiness homework’ assignments will ultimately prepare you to put these scientific findings into practice. The ultimate goal is for you to feel better and build healthier habits. Parents, teachers, and other professionals supporting teenagers may also find the course beneficial. Note: This course does not confer Yale University grade, credit or student status. THE SCIENCE OF WELL-BEING FOR TEENS WAS PRODUCED IN PART DUE TO THE GENEROUS FUNDING OF THE ARTHUR M. BLANK FAMILY FOUNDATION AND THE JOHN TEMPLETON FOUNDATION....

The professor explains everything thoroughly but makes it simple enough for everyone to understand the material. The exercises were really beneficial and I was able to improve my mental health. The course was as great as her other course, "The Science of Well-Being".

What a fantastic course. So many myths that were "busted" by the evidence that was presented. And so nice to have the next reasonable step after finding out about happiness, information about about what we can do. Very empowering and doable, indeed!

I really enjoyed the course. It was well-organized and balanced both theory and hands-on stuff, which I appreciated. Everything was clear, even the tricky topics, and the extra materials were super helpful. Honestly, it was way better than I expected.

I greatly enjoyed the course! The information is invaluable, and there are aspects that I will be applying to my 7th grade classroom next school year.

I highly recommend this course to anyone who has teenagers, or is a teacher of teenagers!

Everything in life is easier if we are happier. Thank-you for info that I can use going forward to make some positive changes to my life. I wish only that I had found the course sooner: I'm not a teen but I still learned a lot!

This class was very enlightening. I started homeschooling my grandson and this course has helped me understand him and has helped me help him with some ways to destress him and help him enjoy things a little more.

This is such a nice course to understand how we behave, our misconceptions when it comes to happiness and how to achieve it, and to learn some really nice and simple techniques to work on our real happiness.
