The Psychology Department of the Ateneo de Naga University, with its commitment to promote integral and holistic development of the person through providing greater understanding of the self and others, believes that introducing Positive Psychology would benefit teachers, practitioners and students in their pursuit of self-understanding through promotion of effective interventions in building happy life, thus developing happy and healthy people.
