Looking at the intersection of Relationships, Identity, Culture, Community and Mental Health

Our goal is to utilize our knowledge to increase awareness and knowledge on how relationships, identity, community, culture, and mental health intersect. We aim to provide opportunities for graduate clinical psychology students to learn about the research process and how to decolonize and reclaim clinical psychology for people who have often been marginalized. We challenge ourselves to examine barriers faced by vulnerable and marginalized populations, hoping to create an inclusive community through collaborative efforts to support one another. We value equality and diversity of every human being and seek to set the precedent for future scholars to bring about positive social change.
