People who are happy are healthier (Siahpush, M., Spittal, M., Singh, GK, 2008) and live longer (Steptoe & Wardle, 2011). This session will examine how students can improve their happiness and how this can impact their relationships and behaviors. Learning activities that increase student interest and participation will be presented. This approach is enjoyable for the teacher and student and gets the students excited to come and participate in their health class.
