Three Marywood University students, Marielle Carpentier, senior art therapy major,; Ellis Vogt, junior architecture major; and Ashley Myers, junior art therapy major, recently turned their Positive Psychology class project into a website, where community members can find positive news, helpful tips, and the ability to stay connected.
The students said, “With the current Coronavirus outbreak closing our physical school, our campus outreach program has, like everything else, gone digital. Now, more than ever, though, it seems people could benefit from strategies and activities they can do to boost their mental health and well-being.”
While the website is connected to a class project, its goal of helping people during this difficult time is personal for the students.. In addition to providing positive blog information, the site also features a Resources and Information page where visitors can link to the Center for Disease Control, mental health organizations, and books written by psychologists.
The Positive Spot website, can be visited at https://ajmyers9.wixsite.com/positivespot. For information about Marywood University’s Psychology and Counseling department, please visit marywood.edu/psychology-counseling/.
