My Goals
The quotes above, I believe, is a good introduction to the purpose of this website. To show the importance of giving children the best opportunity to be happy and healthy as they grow. We can do this by looking at the connection between Positive Health Psychology, the wellness model, and children. In turn we may be able to evaluate new ways in which this model, and others like it, can be easily used. Hopefully, this will encourage others to adopt the same view points.
