Our Mission

PsySR uses psychological knowledge and skills to promote peace with social justice at the community, national and international levels.

Through our Action Committees and Steering Committee we work to:

 

	Apply the growing body of knowledge about conflict resolution and violence prevention.
	Facilitate positive changes for victims and survivors of personal, community, and civil violence.
	Advocate for basic human needs – including actions that decrease poverty, ensure ethnic and gender equality, increase work opportunity, promote healthy and sustainable environments, and achieve a wiser balance between human needs and military budgets.
	Ensure that relevant information from psychology is used in local, national, and international public policy.

The PsySR Central Office in Washington, DC supports the work of the Action Committees and the Steering Committee.  PsySR has a part-time Coordinator and several interns who organize the logistical support for PsySR’s projects.  The Executive Director, Colleen Cordes, may be reached .
