This book explores positive psychology interventions; strategies which are aimed at enhancing positive emotions, cognitions and happiness among students in higher education institutions. Students worldwide have reported increased psychosocial issues which negatively affect their overall well-being and mental health. The poor well-being and mental health of university students has led to among other things, high attrition rate, suicide cases, low academic performance, and increased psychological and social problems among them. There has been increased interest in reach on the well-being and mental health of students in higher education. However, despite this, there is still scanty research on positive psychology interventions that could be adopted to boost well-being and mental health of students in higher education institutions. This book significantly contributes to the body of knowledge on adoption of holistic perspectives to boost well-being and mental health of students in higher education institutions. Peter JO Aloka is Senior Lecturer at the Wits School of Education, University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa. He holds PhD in Educational Psychology from the University of the Western Cape and an MED in Educational Psychology and BED Hons degrees from Kenyatta University, Kenya. He has lectured in Universities in Kenya and taught in secondary schools in Kenya as well. He was formerly, the Head of Department of Psychology and Educational Foundations, School of Education at Jaramogi Oginga Odinga University of Science and Technology in Kenya. He has published widely and supervised several postgraduate students both in Kenya and South Africa. He has edited four books and authored several book chapters and articles in internally recognized peer reviewed journals.
