Western Positive Psychology Association (WPPA)

WPPA’s 8th Annual Conference

We are back!  After a brief hiatus, we will be coming together again for our first in-person WPPA conference since 2020.  We are excited to meet with you all again. As the field of positive psychology continues to grow, so does the Western Positive Psychology Association.  As we envisioned, WPPA is excited to be branching out from Claremont, CA to the University of New Mexico (UNM) in Albuquerque, NM, March 22 to 24, 2024.  We cannot wait to see yo there in-person!

From Surviving to Thriving!  

On behalf of WPPA leadership and the UNM WPPA 2024 Conference Committee, we invite you to participate in our 8th Conference on Positive Psychology.  The theme of this conference is From Surviving to Thriving!  The past few years have been challenging and many of us have felt as if we are doing all we can to survive.  We want to use this conference and the science of positive psychology to move from surviving to thriving, across fields, professions, and all areas of life.  To learn about our program, featured speakers, participation, registration, and abstract submission, please visit our WPPA 8th Conference 2024 website.
