Character Strengths Promote Flourishing

VIA Character Strengths are the only scientifically validated strengths assessment that helps people flourish across every aspect of their lives-and at each stage of life. People rely on their character strengths at age 22, 42, 62, and 82 to achieve goals, remain resilient, deepen relationships, and feel like their true selves.

At Work

People spend significant time at work - character strengths help people bounce back from difficulties while continuing to thrive and contribute to team morale.

At Home

Connections to the people we share our lives with are critical for thriving-character strengths help people appreciate each other and feel understood.

At School

The classroom is a place of growth and challenge. Character strengths give students, teachers, and professors an energizing source of confidence to draw from.
