Thank you for your interest in becoming a member of the Global Organisation for Humanitarian Work Psychology!
About GOHWP
The aim of this organisation is to raise awareness of, and to establish a niche for, the many and diverse organisational, industrial, work and other psychologists from across the globe who are interfacing with deliberate and organized efforts to enhance human welfare - at both national and international levels. This group includes, but is not limited to, those who have a special interest in humanitarian aid, international development, poverty reduction, disaster relief, the empowerment of marginalized groups, and the International Labour Organization’s decent work agenda. This group aims to support and connect with students, professionals, and researchers from any discipline who are interested in humanitarian work psychology (HWP).
