Institutional

Joining takes two steps.
MAABPsi is a chapter of the national Association of Black Psychologists, so full chapter membership pairs an active national membership with local chapter dues. Here is the path:
Join national ABPsi
Choose your category and join at abpsi.org. National membership includes the Journal of Black Psychology, the Black Wellness Directory, and reduced convention registration.
Email the chapter
Write to us at metroatlantaabpsi@gmail.com and we will send the chapter application. Local dues are $55 a year for professionals and $30 for students.
Come to a meeting
Meetings are where the chapter lives. Introduce yourself and find your committee.

What membership gives you
Colleagues who understand the work without translation, mentorship that runs in both directions, and referral relationships that actually refer. It is also a place to present your work and step into leadership, inside an institution that has held Black psychology in Atlanta since 1976.
