🌍 WAPP Champion 2025: Solomon Abebe (Ethiopia)Solomon carries an extraordinary commitment to the African continent — and far beyond. He has become a pillar for the entire WAPP community.He was the initiator of Positive Psychotherapy courses in India and, through his wide-reaching professional network, continues to act as an ambassador for our method in places where many of us have no direct access.Although he comes from Africa, Solomon never limits his support by geography. He offers his presence wherever it is needed — whether to share knowledge, build stability, or guide others forward. He acts quietly, from his own initiative, and his work carries deep meaning for all of us. Thank you, dear Solomon!✨WAPP Champions is a new series launched in celebration of Positive Psychotherapy Day 2025 — to honor those whose meaningful contributions to our Association and method may often go unnoticed, but never go unfelt.#wappchampions #positivepsychotherapyday #PositivePsychotherapy ...

🌍 WAPP Champion 2025: Anastasiia Volkova (Ukraine)Anastasiia is a Basic Consultant from Odesa whose quiet dedication powers one of WAPP’s most far-reaching projects: Wikipedia. She has already uploaded Positive Psychotherapy content in 15 languages, with a goal of reaching 40. For those unfamiliar, Wikipedia work is not glamorous — it’s daily, slow, and exacting. It takes perseverance to build knowledge sentence by sentence, link by link, across linguistic and cultural borders. And she does it — consistently, and with care. Thank you, Anastasiia!✨WAPP Champions is a new series launched in celebration of Positive Psychotherapy Day 2025 — to honor those whose meaningful contributions to our Association and method may often go unnoticed, but never go unfelt.#WAPPChampions #PositivePsychotherapyDay #PositivePsychotherapy ...
