Feeling overwhelmed by the unique challenges of modern parenting? Join Professor Laurie Santos in The Science of Well-Being for Parents— a free online course that explores science-backed strategies for happier parenting.

Through engaging lessons and parent Q&As, you'll learn how to reframe your thoughts, manage your emotions, and modify your behaviors in response to everyday challenges. We'll apply the latest research in psychological science to the joys and struggles of raising kids, helping you build more effective family dynamics and avoid the trap of overparenting. And you'll see that prioritizing your own well-being, you're not just helping yourself – you're also better equipped to show up for your kids and create a happier, healthier family life.
