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: ​
​
-
​The creation and development of ideas born out of compassion for all beings, not only just privileged groups, but also marginalized and intersectional,
-
Practical, accessible, and innovative methods of intervention/dissemination/open science that reach all people,
-
Authentic, non-hierarchical connections with others who have the same mission and seek to speak their truth,
-
The empowerment of ALL people to challenge the status quo of oppressive dynamics within and without their individual communities,
-
Supporting the careers of scholar-activists seeking to challenge systemic oppression through the use of clinical science, empowerment, and effective activism for social justice.
