Vision and Mission of the PsySSA Student Division
The Student Division is centred on the core values of the ethical development of psychology students. It aims to create a space to gain insight into the discipline, academically and practically. By providing mentorship opportunities, we believe that knowledge can be organically transferred between students who would not have access to the relevant resources and inspire collaboration among students and professionals.
We recognise that transformation of the discipline is imperative to realise a truly inclusive approach to psychological services and research in South Africa.
By facilitating community engagement, we aim to inspire students to one day become professionals that give back to the community and be passionate about service to the poor and vulnerable.
We always endeavour to listen to our fellow students and acknowledge that the student journey is not always a clear path. Thus we strive to be a comprehensive repository of psychology student guidance. By enabling knowledge dissemination, we also focus strongly on developing and connecting Psychology Societies, unified in the spirit of serving, to promote mental health services for all in South Africa.
