Impactful Psychology

​Info for all workshops: This is a recurring workshop, taking place every two weeks to give time for the 2-3 hours of reading needed for each session. Anyone from any background is welcome, this first session is a taster- no commitment! You can read more about other workshops (and their benefits!) we offer here. 

​This event is only a suggested time and location, by registering you are simply indicating your interest in the workshops! You'll be able to customise the time and location in the signup form we'll advertise.

🍕 Snacks included
🖥️ Free virtual desk space to work/study with your friends (+hopefully this group's attendees!)
🤖 You'll learn to use Notebook LLM to automatically create slides, flashcards, Q&A and even a podcast episode out of readings (useful for studies & work) in one click. You might be able to get away with only 1h of prep for each session... 🫣

One in eight people worldwide lives with a mental health condition, yet essential care remains unattainable throughout much of the world. You can help change this.

This fellowship was currated by EA Mental Health. It highlights cheap interventions which can be easily implemented as well as which mental health domains have few people working on them (are neglected).

Look at the figure below for example (DALY is the “suffering” caused by that issue): substance disorders and self-harm are receiving too little attention right now. (by Shiva Pauer, who came from Hamburg to give a talk at UNIGE for EA Geneva).
