About the Institute
THE INSTITUTE OF HIGH SENSITIVITY IS DEDICATED TO ADVANCING OUR UNDERSTANDING OF SENSITIVITY AS A NATURAL AND VALUABLE TEMPERAMENT TRAIT.
Grounded in cutting-edge research on differential susceptibility and temperament, and guided by decades of clinical expertise, the Institute provides education, training, and resources for professionals, educators, and the wider community, with a particular focus on supporting parents, caregivers, and families.
Our mission is to raise awareness, foster understanding, and promote positive outcomes for highly sensitive individuals across the lifespan.
We offer evidence-based training for those working with children, adolescents, and adults who identify as highly sensitive, equipping professionals with the knowledge and tools to recognise, support, and embrace this trait in clinical, educational, and organisational settings.
The Institute is committed to bridging the gap between science and practice by sharing the latest research and insights on sensitivity and temperament.
Through professional development and public education, we are working toward a future in which sensitivity is recognised not as a vulnerability, but as an essential and enriching part of human diversity.
