Black Psychology Section – CPA

Black Psychology Section, CPA

There are two ways to join this section:

1 – Join the Section for Black Psychology without joining the Canadian Psychological Association (CPA). This means you will be a Section Associate. This option is appropriate for individuals who do not qualify for membership (e.g., their degrees are in social work, counselling, psychotherapy, etc. rather than psychology) or are interested in joining only one section and receiving their section communication, along with a quarterly newsletter from the CPA.This is a two-step process. Click here.
2 – Join the Canadian Psychological Association AND join the Section for Black Psychology. Click here.   Would you like to know more? Here’s a profile of the Black Psychology Section that was written by the CPA for Black History Month, 2022. One of our co-founders has also written a Q&A blog about Black Psychology.
