Why become a member of SfHP?
“I joined SfHP to affirm my identity as a health psychologist and to be part of the community of health psychologists and so that, through my efforts as a member, I can help ensure that this community is there to support future generations of health psychologists.”
“I joined the Society for Health Psychology to widen my network of professionals and other students in health psychology, particularly by attending events hosted by Division 38, and to stay up to date on news, trends, and events in the world of health psychology.”
“I have been a Clinical Psychologist for 35 years and after 30 years of practice I came to the realization that Health Psychology was the future of Psychology. I joined the Society of Health Psychology to give support to the APA Division (38) that has made such a positive change in my professional and personal life.”
“As the lone psychologist in my department in an academic medical center, I needed to find a professional home that recognized my unique role while connecting me with other professionals in my discipline.”
“Membership is consistent with my professional identity.”
“SfHP has helped me meet people within my areas of interest, the listserv has been helpful for my research, and the webinars have been on cutting-edge topics.
