Advocating for psychology is advocating for all of us

as president of the portuguese psychologists association in the International Innovation Summit by APA, August 2018
As a psychologist who has a specific role in psychology advocacy I think that it's of the most importance to share with psychologists and show to citizens all over the globe the importance of psychology for public policies, decision making, personal life styles, healthy behaviors and most important to complex social problems resolution (like famine, refugees, climate change, etc.). Sharing best practices and how to better advocate for psychology has to be a main role of international psychology. Every one of us, in our national roles or even local ones, have the responsibility to disseminate, be informed and work at an international and global level to achieve an effective use of psychological science to the human development benefit. To do that, we have to combine strengths and build bridges with other professionals. 

Let's do it with Psychology!
