Building Positive
Mental Health
A structured, 52-week program grounded in positive psychology.
Self-paced. Evidence-based. Built for real life.
Maybe things are okay but not quite enough. Or maybe they have been harder than that, and you are looking for something steady to work with.
Upward Spiral is a 52-week wellbeing program grounded in positive psychology. Each week, you work through a short set of practices designed to build real skills like focus, emotional regulation, self-awareness, and resilience.
It works on its own for people building wellbeing proactively, and it works just as well alongside therapy, counselling, or other support you may already have in place.
Whether you are proactively building mental fitness or working through something difficult, this program meets you where you are. No prerequisites. No pressure to perform.
"Built for the space between 'I'm okay' and 'I'm thriving.'"
Each week, you practice
something real.
Four components, designed to work together. A focused insight into a new topic. A hands-on exercise. A coping skill you can carry with you. And a short guided audio session to develop mindfulness.
Learn something new
Insights grounded in positive psychology and neuroscience. Based on scientific research, not vague claims or untested self-help hype.
Try it yourself
A practical exercise you can do the same day. Low stakes, real impact.
Build a coping skill
Something portable and memorable you can use to help mitigate some of life's challenges
Meditate
A short guided audio session, themed to your week. Full or mini length, your choice.
Warm, considered, and thoughtfully designed
Every week is built around clear research summaries, practical exercises, coping skills, and guided audio sessions that feel like they were tailored to you.
The pace is yours to enjoy the steady progression. And it all works from your phone, tablet, or desktop.

Why we built this
We built Upward Spiral because we kept noticing the same gap. Most mental health support focuses on what is wrong and how to fix it. Very little is designed with structure to help people move toward flourishing, toward a life that feels genuinely worth living.
The research is available. What did not exist was a structured, accessible program that brought it together in a format people could actually use week after week. So we built one.
More about our approachWhy this instead of just downloading an app?
Wellness apps have their place but may lack a clear path. Upward Spiral is structured. There is a difference.
Apps offer content. This program offers a curriculum. Each week builds on the last. The sessions are designed to high standards, and the program draws on peer-reviewed research, not wellness trends or self-help books.

What tends to shift
We do not promise outcomes. We provide structure, evidence, and a well-designed process. What you get from it is yours.
You may feel less reactive in difficult moments. More space between feeling and response.
You may find it easier to name what you are feeling, which makes it easier to work with.
You may develop a different relationship with uncertainty. Challenges might feel a little lighter.
