CRCP 2021
The purpose of the CRCP is to:

- Provide an opportunity for Caribbean psychologists to share their research, teaching and practice with regional and international colleagues
- Increase the knowledge of academic and applied psychologists, and allied mental health professionals about psychology to transfer this knowledge in both directions
- Organize workshops that allow psychologists of the region to engage in continuing education on contemporary techniques, methodologies, and theories that are appropriate to their own work, and in skill building;
- Increase professional and public awareness of the role of psychological science in promoting individual, community, national and regional well-being and development;
- Promote the sustained collaboration of academic and applied psychologists (including trained but non-practicing psychologists) within the Caribbean region and the Diaspora;
- Provide opportunities for networking and collaboration within the region and internationally;
