ONLINE Lunch and Learn at JCC Manhattan: How Positive Practices Help Achieve Social Justice

On June 16 Marcy and I zoomed down to Manhattan to participate in a dialogue about positive psychology and social justice, one of the central themes of the B-Change podcast. Our conversation highlights the very timely need to connect positive practices — such as focusing on strengths, practicing meditation, expressing gratitude — with systemic social change. JCC Manhattan, through its online lunch and learn program, co-sponsored by the Wholebeing Institute, devoted a full week to discussions on this topic. We hope the energy remains strong to continue to connect positive psychology and social justice into the future and to take action as allies to communities of color. In this episode, Marcy and I are interviewed by Caroline Kohles, Senior Director of Health & Wellness Programming at JCC. We would also like to express our gratitude to Phoebe Atkinson, who worked behind the scenes to make this episode possible. We spoke with Caroline about:

  • How social justice leaders can use the tools of positive psychology to be more effective and resilient during difficult times.
  • How the leadership of social justice organizations can better reflects social justice values.
  • What is the role of a white leader in a time of black and brown-led activism?
