Our Mission

​The Oppression and Resilience SIG believes that the field of psychology has the power to heal and build resilience against suffering at the hands of systemic oppression via: ​
​
  1. ​The creation and development of ideas born out of compassion for all beings, not only just privileged groups, but also marginalized and intersectional,

  2. Practical, accessible, and innovative methods of intervention/dissemination/open science that reach all people,

  3. Authentic, non-hierarchical connections with others who have the same mission and seek to speak their truth,

  4. The empowerment of ALL people to challenge the status quo of oppressive dynamics within and without their individual communities,

  5. Supporting the careers of scholar-activists seeking to challenge systemic oppression through the use of clinical science, empowerment, and effective activism for social justice.
