Let’s rethink psychology.
HIPsy (High Impact Psychology) is a branch of Effective Altruism focused on how to do the most good within the field of psychology in research, practice, and business. Together with our supporters from the Global Priorities Institute, the Center for Effective Altruism, and the Happier Lives Institute, HIPsy aims to help people engaged with psychology or mental health maximize their impact.
The goal of HIPsy is to increase the likelihood of high-impact decisions, make collaboration and information processes more effective, and reduce the risk of value drift for people engaged in psychology or mental health. HIPsy will be focused on fostering resources such as networking and collaboration opportunities, up-to-date high-quality information, and career and work advice.

with communities and organizations dedicated to high-impact psychology work.
