A Message From The President
Welcome to 2026
Welcome to PsySSA 2026!
It gives me immense pleasure to welcome you to PsySSA in 2026. As we begin the year, I hope you feel rested, reconnected, and rejuvenated—ready to engage with the challenges and opportunities facing psychologists and the profession as a whole.
Psychology continues to evolve within a rapidly changing world marked by global challenges that deepen inequality and trauma, the growing influence of technology and artificial intelligence on service delivery, climate change and its impact on mental health, and ongoing social justice concerns. At the same time, there is an increasing need for community empowerment and robust, evidence-based psychological research to guide ethical practice, policy, and decision-making.
PsySSA is committed to responding proactively rather than reactively—embracing challenges with caution while harnessing opportunities for growth and development. Our core mission remains steadfast: improving psychological care in the service of humanity.
We encourage all members to actively participate in PsySSA’s work by engaging in meaningful dialogue, sharing ideas, and building strong professional networks. In 2026, PsySSA will host a range of exciting initiatives, including the 30th Annual PsySSA Psychology Congress, a CPD Workshop Series featuring 13 diverse and practice-relevant workshops, strengthened programmes for students and early-career psychologists, and expanded opportunities to earn CPD points through our online platform, PsyCPD.
On behalf of the entire PsySSA team, I wish you a psychologically fulfilling and inspiring year.
