In the area of Psychology, however, American Psychological Association (APA) not only stance stronger as the world largest psychological profession association but also through its Disaster Response Network (DRN), in recent decades, has attempted the leading of adequate disaster mental health assistance.

An ethical obligation on psychological services plays a vital role so as to provide proficient care. In order to do this, professionals should have sophisticated training and skills needed even though those who had some workshops or minimal training still able to provide counseling and psychological service. This what I want to pursue by studying through MA International Disaster Psychology (MAIDP), University of Denver, which will lead me towards my dream to be a disaster mental health professional. MAIDP program was created in response to the observation that there really were no training programs for international disaster psychology or such programs at graduate level. Even more, the 8 weeks mandatory internship within MAIDP's program could be even more difficult than I might imagine as this will be the real struggle to prove textual lesson into practice in the real world, the work is often in poor, under-served and sometimes dangerous, but it might provide the excellent experience that I dream of.

The fact shows that the area of relieving, reducing and recovering the survivors' mental health state will be one of the essential field that on my local communities needed nor mitigating the survivor mental health is more crucial for some certain areas. I wish that finishing my bachelor degree in psychology, volunteering in Merapi eruption in 2010, working in rural community service for this recent years and prospective studying in MAIDP will open my opportunity to work in my dream job, helping vulnerable people in emergency professionally.
