Psychology should reflect the communities it serves.

Psychologists of Color, Inc. exists to increase the racial and ethnic diversity of the psychologist workforce by supporting future and current psychologists of color.

That means creating pathways toward graduate school, licensure, professional growth, mentorship, and meaningful careers in psychology.
We're building a more diverse psychology workforceβ€”and a stronger future for culturally responsive mental health care.

What makes this community so special? The people who show up, not just for the work, but for the mission. πŸ™Œ

Our Board members carry that commitment into every corner of their lives, including how they celebrate. One of the most meaningful ways they fundraise for Psychologists of Color, Inc. is by turning their own birthdays into an opportunity to give back.

Right now, Board member Dr. Jordyn Trockman is doing exactly that. She's running a birthday campaign to raise funds that go directly toward increasing racial and ethnic diversity in the psychology workforce, and there's still time to be part of it. πŸŽ‚

Every dollar you give supports psychologists of color as they navigate training, licensure, and building careers in mental health care. That's real impact, made possible by people like you choosing to show up.

Give today at https://givebutter.com/dr-jordyns-birthday-fundraiser-2026 and help us build a more diverse future in mental health care. πŸ’œ

When it comes to mental health care, cultural understanding isn't just an "extra perk"β€”it can prevent a dangerous misdiagnosis.

Research cited by the American Psychological Association shows that Black and Latino individuals are 3 to 4 times more likely to be diagnosed with severe psychotic disorders than White individuals exhibiting the exact same symptoms.

Traditional psychology often overlooks how racial trauma and cultural differences influence how we express stress or grief. Psychologists of Color bring the lived experience and structural understanding needed to correct these biases and provide fair, accurate care.

We need to change the system. Support the mission to diversify mental health care by sharing this post. πŸ›οΈβœ¨

Did you know there are scholarships specifically designed to support students of color pursuing careers in psychology?

The Fund for Racial and Ethnic Diversity (FRED) Scholarship was created to help students from historically underrepresented communities continue their education and pursue graduate studies in psychology. Opportunities like these play an important role in increasing representation, expanding access, and strengthening the future of mental health care.

If you're a psychology student or know someone who is, take time to explore the resources available to support your journey.

The future of psychology should reflect the communities it serves.

Representation in psychology is growing, but there is still work to do.

Nearly 70% of psychology doctorates are earned by individuals outside underrepresented racial and ethnic groups. While progress continues, psychologists of color remain underrepresented in many leadership, faculty, and research positions.

This is why mentorship, community, and professional development matter.
At Psychologists of Color, we believe that creating pathways for growth today helps shape a more inclusive and representative profession tomorrow.
