The aims of National Psychology Week (NPW) are to raise community awareness of psychology, psychological issues and the roles psychologists play in community wellbeing.
Hosting a NPW event
Psychologists play an important role in achieving this goal by hosting events and displays, that may be open to the public or private for invited guests only.
Some examples to consider include:
- setting up a NPW display at your local library or university
- hosting a night for parents at a local school or kindergarten
- meeting the public at a stand in your local shopping centre
- publicly speaking on a psychology related topic of local interest
- providing posters and NPW promotional products to display at local GP clinics
- holding a morning or afternoon tea in your workplace
- offering to speak about psychology at a meeting of a local community group eg Rotary
- playing golf with other local psychologists and health professionals
