The science behind the certification
The Digital Flourishing® Model
Grounded in Positive Psychology, the Digital Flourishing® Model takes a whole-person view of how technology shapes productivity, communication, relationships, mental and physical health, the digital environment, artificial intelligence, and digital citizenship.
Since 2020, more than 40,000 people across 62 countries have taken the scientifically validated Digital Flourishing® Survey—helping individuals, organizations, schools, and communities turn insight into meaningful action.
The certification teaches this model as the foundation for digital wellness change.
You’ll learn how to explain its eight dimensions, apply the framework in real settings, and help people move from awareness to healthier, more intentional technology habits.
