 I’m a Psychologist – Who Supports Migrant Women and Communities
Vienna | Sigrid Awart

Psychology can also mean working in communities, building support structures, and creating access where barriers exist. In this lecture, Sigrid Awart shares insights from a long professional journey connecting psychology, social anthropology, counselling, education, and project development. Her work at Peregrina – an education, counselling, and therapy centre for immigrant women – shows how psychological knowledge can contribute to inclusion, empowerment, and low-threshold support in everyday life.
This talk introduces psychological work with immigrant women and communities in counselling, education, and project-based practice.
Students will gain insight into a long-standing career path that connects psychology with migration, social inclusion, and community-based support.
