The Global Coherence Initiative: A global psychological paradigm for health promotion

Pages 194-198 | Published online: 03 May 2016
 

Abstract

This review proposes the value of a global psychology-oriented initiative to promote health and wellbeing. It discusses the concept of collective consciousness, especially heart-based, moral consciousness and related actions as resources for health promotion. The review draws on a collaborative South African Global Coherence Initiative to support communal coherence and interconnectedness in an indigenous community setting.
