Our Programs
We are not just creating space for more psychologists of color to enter the field; we are setting them up to thrive. Our programs are designed specifically for communities of color and are accessible to all who can benefit.
Training Programs
“Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.” — Lao Tzu
Increasing the number of psychologists of color in the field who are trained in evidence-based treatments in the field is our vision. The ability to access mental health services from a licensed professional who comes from a similar background can be life-changing. APF trains racially diverse individuals and groups that are committed to administering care among underserved communities across the country.
Schools & Organizations
The Access Psychology Foundation (APF) offers grants to schools, school districts and community organizations who work with historically underserved student bodies and clientele to provide training for teachers and staff in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). This approach helps all students ranging from universal to targeted, where school staff will learn evidence-based skills and interventions to help address student and staff needs.
Treatment Programs
The Access Psychology Foundation (APF) offers scholarships and grants to people from historically underrepresented populations so they can obtain quality, evidence-based mental health treatment. Evidence-based treatments are those subjected to rigorous research trials demonstrating their effectiveness.
