The Bridging the Gap Summit: Advancing Inclusivity in Psychology and Mental Health is an initiative by the Black Psychology Student Association (BPSA) to bring together BIPOC students passionate about psychology, mental health, and equity. The summit addresses the underrepresentation of marginalized communities in psychology and mental health fields while fostering dialogue, networking, and actionable solutions to advance inclusivity.
This event provides a platform for students, professionals, and community leaders to explore career pathways in psychology, learn about culturally competent mental health practices, and connect with mental health resources tailored to diverse populations. By bridging academic knowledge, lived experiences, and professional insights, the summit aims to empower attendees to champion equity in psychology and mental health spaces.

Join us for a day of empowering guest speakers, insightful workshops, informational booths, and networking with psychology professionals!
