The Humanitarian

The Humanitarian provides psychological support services, facilitation and training for predominantly Australian organizations and personnel undertaking humanitarian focused work.

The Humanitarian’s clients are mainly international humanitarian staff and managers of organizations who are responsible for the deployment of humanitarian personnel overseas. Australian organizations and staff who work on the humanitarian front line (such as COVID medics and paramedics, emergency, military and remotely based staff) also access The Humanitarian’s psychological support services.

A range of integrated psychological services encompassing workshops & tailored training; coaching & facilitation services; deployment and post-deployment support; staff care systems support; and support with recruitment & induction processes are designed to enhance resiliency & wellbeing and to assist the adjustment and adaptation responses associated with working in an humanitarian environment.

Confidential psychotherapy and counselling services that help mitigate the inevitable personal and sometimes traumatic impact and challenges of both working in the humanitarian context and of returning to or integrating the values and stresses of a material world environment are also offered.
