Our work helps people who want to improve their social and emotional well-being—and who support the well-being of others.
We help education professionals understand the science behind social-emotional learning, character development, and mindfulness—then help them apply those insights to schools.
We reach millions of parents with stories, tips, and tools for fostering qualities like gratitude, forgiveness, resilience, and generosity in themselves and their children.
Our resources support the mental and physical health of professionals who care for other people, and help them better support their patients, clients, and colleagues.
We help leaders at every level of an organization identify research-based strategies for happiness, connection, and emotional intelligence.
From our base at UC Berkeley, we support the careers of emerging and accomplished researchers whose work contributes to the science of a meaningful life.
“We scientists need partnerships with organizations like the GGSC because we’re not experts in reaching loads of people on a regular basis. Providing sustained delivery of content that’s thoughtful, not over-the-top, appropriately measured, and empirically grounded—that’s what the GGSC does better than anybody.”
