Psychology Month
Psychological health is important to us all. Each February, from psychological associations, to scientists, to psychology residents and psychologists organize local public education and outreach activities to facilitate awareness of psychological health in our communities, to mark Psychology Month. Psychologists add value to all aspects of wellness by formulating evidence based methods of treatment, assessment, education and research.
