Can forgiveness serve as a clinically relevant, evidence-based pathway to better health and resilience? In this compelling webinar for members of IPPA’s Health and Wellbeing Division, Dr. Loren Toussaint, a globally recognized leader in forgiveness science, will present cutting-edge research on “everyday forgiveness” as a powerful tool for enhancing mental, physical, and relational well-being.

Grounded in positive psychology and health research, Dr. Toussaint will define forgiveness and its core dimensions, while distinguishing it from commonly misunderstood concepts. He will highlight robust empirical findings linking forgiveness to reduced stress, improved emotional regulation, and better physical health outcomes, making a strong case for its integration into healthcare and wellbeing practice.

Participants will gain practical, evidence-informed strategies for teaching and applying forgiveness across clinical, community, and organizational settings, aligning with whole-person approaches to care and flourishing.

The session will be hosted by Dr. Kathi Norman, President of IPPA’s Health and Wellbeing Division and creator of Positive Medicine™, a holistic, evidence-based approach that integrates positive psychology and lifestyle medicine. A practicing psychiatric clinician, Dr. Norman brings extensive experience in advancing innovative, whole-person models of health and wellbeing.

This webinar offers a unique opportunity to explore forgiveness not only as a psychological construct, but as a practical, scalable resource for promoting health, resilience, and human flourishing.
