At Insight Behavior, happiness isn’t just a goal; it’s a practice. In honor of the International Day of Happiness this year, their team put joy front and center by hosting two events that brought staff, clients, and community members together to celebrate connection, creativity, and positivity.
Starting with an all-day Happiness Open House, Insight welcomed attendees to explore hands-on activities inspired by Proof Positive’s happiness skills. From interactive stations like a “What Went Well” graffiti wall and a joy-filled photobooth to mindfulness moments and take-home happiness activity kits, the day offered opportunities to connect, reflect, and support everyone’s wellbeing.
But the celebration didn’t stop there.
That evening, the joy continued with an Open Mic Night, where clients, their families, and Insight staff took to the stage to share music, poetry, personal stories, and more. With laughter, cheers, and even a few happy tears, the event highlighted the joy of community through shared pizza and mini-performances. It was a reminder that happiness is amplified when we feel seen and celebrated for who we are. What an inspiring night!
“The International Day of Happiness gave us the perfect opportunity to pause and celebrate the good—not just in our work, but in each other,” said Julie Miller, MS, BCBA, Clinical Director & Founding Partner at Insight Behavior. “Seeing our clients and staff light up with joy reminded me that happiness isn’t something we wait for—it’s something we create, together.”
These events are a powerful example of how organizations can bring the science and skills of happiness to life. By incorporating accessible, inclusive wellbeing practices, Insight Behavior is not only creating a culture of happiness—they’re making it contagious.
At Proof Positive, we believe happiness is a skill that can be learned, practiced, and taught. We’re thrilled to see partners like Insight Behavior bringing these tools into their spaces and celebrating joy.
The International Day of Happiness may be over, but happiness is a right for everyone, every day. Join us in spreading the science and skills of happiness all year long – because everyone deserves happiness.
