Welcome to the FISH Lab!
What is Flourishing?Some define flourishing as a state where all aspects of one's life are good, not just for the person, but for their community and surrounding environment. Our understanding of flourishing is slightly different - that it is not so much a state that one achieves, but rather an active, dynamic, ebbing and flowing quality of being that can manifest in our day to day moments. It's not so much that "all aspects" of our lives need to be 100% in sync in order to flourish, but on the contrary, any aspects of our life. |

The FISH Research Lab
We are dedicated to better understanding the role of flourishing on human health, the health of our society, and the health of our planet, including an understanding that flourishing can be a learned skill and positive health behavior that may be experienced, practiced, and maintained throughout our lives. Much of this work focuses on supporting people affected by chronic medical conditions such as cancer and discovering ways to bring flourishing skills, behaviors, and opportunities to their lives in easy, accessible, and equitable ways.
