Interviewing for Happiness: How to Weave Positive Psychology Magic into the Initial Clinical Interview

Yesterday I had the honor of presenting for the Mental Health Academy’s Mental Health Super Summit. My presentation, titled “Interviewing for Happiness: How to Weave Positive Psychology Magic into the Initial Clinical Interview” is still available, along with the other presentations, through this link: https://www.mentalhealthacademy.com.au/summit. There were 24 hours of possible continuing education for an incredibly low cost. Presenters included, Dr. Judith Beck and Dr. Cirecie West-Olatunji Professor, Xavier University of Louisiana, and me! You can access my powerpoints here:

Participating in this event was an honor also because the event is a fundraiser for “Act for Kids,” an Australian charity “that delivers evidence-led professional therapy and support services to children and families who have experienced or are at risk of harm.” Over $110K has already been raised. Here’s the Act for Kids link: https://www.actforkids.com.au/.

Thanks for reading!

  1. Thank you for sharing your slides! I’m a nurse educator in home care and instruct on mental health for our patient population. Appreciate the reminder of the focus on the positive! And the insightful sample questions you included!
