Assets for Health and Wellbeing Across the Lifecourse - International Conference 2011 26/09/2011
- 27/09/2011
We would like to invite you to actively participate in a two-day multi-disciplinary conference for researchers, practitioners, commissioners and policy makers with an interest in assets based approaches. Asset based approaches are concerned with identifying the protective factors that create health and well-being. They offer the potential to enhance both the quality and longevity of life through focusing on the resources that promote the self-esteem and coping abilities of individuals and communities.
Research on success and well-being has a long tradition in psychology and sociology. Even though socio-psychological approaches integrated both perspectives for a considerable time, a much greater interdisciplinary potential remains to be discovered on a theoretical, conceptual, and empirical level.
The aim of the conference is to discuss criteria and predictors for successful development, most notably with regard to educational and occupational contexts. An emphasis will be placed on attempts at integrating psychological and sociological views on success and well-being.
