EQUITY, DIVERSITY, AND INCLUSION STATEMENT

The Maine Psychological Association (MePA) is committed to promoting human rights and wellbeing for all Mainers by applying the principles of equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) to all we do.

We strive to be equitable and welcoming to all members and invite a diversity of psychologists throughout the land known as Maine – the ancestral and current home of the Wabanaki, or “People of the Dawnland.”

We engage in training, advocacy, community building, and collaboration with partners to advance the accessible, equitable, and inclusive practice of psychological science to promote wellbeing.

We recognize that psychology is a product of Western culture and reflects ethnocentric biases and presumptions. We acknowledge the contributions of psychology to social hierarchies and inequities within the profession and our broader society.
