Humanitarian Work Psychology
Humanitarian Work Psychology (HWP) is a field of I-O psychology dedicated to assisting underserved and underprivileged populations. Originating from a shared goal among a group of I-O psychologists in 2009 and formally established in 2012, HWP applies psychological principles to help marginalized individuals, such as those with low incomes, find work. The field's practitioners also focus on delivering humanitarian aid during major catastrophes and supporting local community members who lack the necessary knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) to secure stable employment. A central aim is to empower these individuals by developing durable KSAs, enabling them to improve their lives and reduce the need for aid.
