Abstract

The Midland Wellbeing Coalition strives to create inclusive communities where everyone can thrive. Using positive psychology principles, the Coalition aims to foster community wellbeing by identifying and cultivating strengths within individuals and organizations. Stemming from evidence-based research, students in the Masters of Applied Positive Psychology program at the University of Pennsylvania developed twenty-two thriving assets tailored for adults. This paper explores the integration of positive psychology practices in community initiatives, focusing on the development of the aforementioned assets. Additionally, the implications of this work are discussed, focusing on how adults in the Midland community will flourish and alluding to the potential of applying this framework in other communities. Keywords: adult, assets, Midland, wellbeing, thrive, positive, psychology
