Course Description

Bridge the gap between good intentions and real change! This practical workshop focuses on how to set meaningful goals – and actually follow through – in a way that supports both mental health and long-term success. Based on behavior change models like the Health Action Process Approach, you will practice hands-on tools such as mental contrasting, if–then planning, and coping planning. You’ll learn how to choose goals that truly nourish you – and how to achieve them. Ideal for anyone who wants to move from intention to action. Recommended in combination with "Essentials of Positive Psychology" – but each session can also be attended on its own. Dr. Belinda Merkle earned her PhD in Educational Psychology at the University of Mannheim. She has several years of teaching experience, having taught courses in positive and educational psychology, and her research includes work on (positive) interventions to foster well-being and success.
