The Global Wellness Center was developed to enable humanitarian, development/aid workers and volunteers to access supportive, empowerment-based counseling from any corner of the globe.

Transitioning to a new environment, adjusting to a different culture and working in the face of human suffering can be both rewarding and overwhelming. It is not uncommon to start asking big questions like, “Why am I here?”, “Am I making a difference?” and “Why isn't everyone else outraged by this?”

Utilizing video conferencing, email and telephone, the Global Wellness Center makes it possible to have weekly counseling sessions with a licensed mental health professional from anywhere in the world. You will have a unique opportunity to discuss issues such as vicarious trauma, burnout, numbness, cynicism, anxiety, depression and personal wellness in a humanitarian context.

Having a safe place to process thoughts and feelings associated with your unique lifestyle as an aid worker can help you gain valuable insight about yourself and cultivate a healthy mindset.
