The Happiness Course – leaders training

Anyone can train to be a Happiness Course leader. It involves learning the course material, recruiting people to come to your course, and facilitating and teaching in group sessions. You don’t need to be a church leader, but having the support of a church or community group can be a great help when getting started.

This day will train you to run Livability’s “The Happiness Course” in your community.

The Happiness Course was developed by Livability to support churches in having meaningful conversations about happiness and wellbeing. The Happiness Course is a four session course based on scientific research, ancient wisdom and real life experience. Participants can apply the course to improve their own happiness, and churches can use it to make their community a happier place.

This training day will equip you to run Livability’s Happiness Course in your community. A typical training day will include:

• Course content and structure
• “Shalom”, a theology for individual and community wellbeing
• Positive psychology and the scientific research about wellbeing
• How to deliver the course in different contexts and put wellbeing at the centre of your church’s mission
• An opportunity to practice and develop training skills.
• The cost of the course covers lunch, a leader’s manual and access to an online learning platform which includes further resources.

We offer a discount for churches and community organisations that would like to train more than one course leader. The first person books a standard £100 ticket and each subsequent leader (up to a maximum of five) leader books a £50 additional license ticket.
