Psychology Matters

Showcasing the incredible power of psychology.

We know Psychology Matters. It transforms lives.

 

That’s why our Psychology Matters programme aims to showcase the incredible power of psychology. 

Together with you, our members, Psychology Matters is about sharing your impact stories and highlighting how psychology makes a difference in all our lives.  

We want to bottle your passion for what you do and show why Psychology Matters. After all, at its heart, psychology is about understanding people.  

It’s about people helping people.  

Psychology Matters is shining a light on the vital role psychology has to play in tackling some of the biggest issues facing society, working with you to help drive positive change.
