Psychology Month is an annual national campaign to raise awareness of the role psychology plays in our lives and in our communities. In 2003, the Council of Provisional Associations of Psychologists, a professional association comprised of professional associations and psychology regulatory bodies across Canada, created a unified advocacy movement. Establishing a month for the promotion of psychology continues to play an important part in this movement.

This year, the BCPA would like to help you with your campaign. Downloading the BCPA's Psychology Month poster from this website and displaying it in your institution is a great way to help introduce the concept of Psychology Month and raise the visibility of psychology. For more ideas on what you can do for Psychology Month, see our list of suggestions. To find out more about campaigns across Canada, visit www.cpa.ca/psychologyincanada/psychologymonth2010/ You can download the BCPA Psychology Month Poster and the most updated version of the BCPA referral brochure. Please refer to the Winter 2010 issue of the BC Psychologist for some suggested activities for Psychology Month.
