Using PERMA in Our Work and Lives
RAFT Team, April 7, 2025
In today's episode, the RAFT team is talking about PERMA, a simple, but powerful, way to think about well-being and resilience. It comes from Dr. Martin Seligman, a leader in positive psychology, and it's all about five key elements: Positive emotions, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, and Accomplishment. During the conversation, the RAFT team unpacks what PERMA looks like in our work and lives, why it matters for advocates, and how we can use it to build sustainable joy and resilience in a field that demands so much of us.
