The Hay Institute is a non-partisan public policy think tank organization founded with the mission of promoting discussion of Human Security around the world. The Hay Institute seeks to elevate the quality and visibility of this discussion under three thematic areas: 1. Trauma and Post-Traumatic syndromes for both combatants and noncombatants, 2. Beneficiary-centered international aid that emphasizes local accountability and sustainability 3. Evidence-based Policy-making through a human security lens, including those affecting people both at home and abroad. We encourage discussions based on factual knowledge and analytic rigor.
