What does PCSR mean in UNCLASSIFIED

PCSR takes action in a variety of forms including public outreach campaigns, issuing statements of policy, attending conferences and convenings, offering continuing education courses and workshops, advocating for political initiatives, supporting research on topics related to social justice, and engaging in direct action efforts.

There are many ways to get involved with PCSR! You can join as a member, or volunteer your time or resources as an ally — either directly or as part of a local chapter. PCSR also regularly hosts events and workshops that you can attend or share information about. You can follow our Twitter page for updates too!

Yes! As an organizational member of PCSR you are helping us support systemic change from within psychology itself by advocating for the inclusion of diversity within curriculum content, reducing unnecessary use of potentially harmful clinical tests such as Rorschach Inkblot Tests, expanding access to mental health services within underserved communities and standing up against unethical research practices such as those involving coerced participants. In addition, your membership supports our ongoing efforts in promoting awareness on civil rights issues such as immigration reform.

Your membership helps amplify our voice when we speak up for positive social change at various levels — from policies to practice guidelines at local/regional/state/national contexts. Our members also participate in campaigns targeting systemic structures that give rise to inequities in health care access, income disparities based on race/gender/age/ethnicity etc., workplace discrimination etc., thereby increasing advocacy opportunities that give rise to positive outcomes for the people who need it most.

As a participant-member you are able to contribute knowledge both through personal insight gained through experience and expertise gained through observation into our individual actions and collective efforts towards changing oppressive systems. Also by participating in activities led by us you'll gain firsthand knowledge on how organizations like ours attempt constructive conversations with policy makers while simultaneously offering direct assistance to affected communities in terms of resources and training methods that further the cause of oppressed groups across different fields.

We provide extensive trainings aimed at professionals who are looking at advancing their skills while contributing toward a just society including topics like racial equity practitioner training; addiction counselor certification; entering trauma informed practice; navigating oppression & privilege; intimate partner violence response skills; cultural humility & resiliency pathways; providing safety for survivors etc.

People who believe in being part of the growing movement towards creating equitable systems such as clinicians - psychotherapists, counselors & psychologists - therapists-in-training - graduate students - undergraduate activists - progressive researchers & academics—anyone with an interest in working towards achieving social justice.
