Santa Barbara County Psychological Association (SBCPA)

Description

The Santa Barbara County Psychological Association (SBCPA) includes more than 150 licensed psychologists, registered psychological assistants, and student members within Santa Barbara County.
Our Santa Barbara County Psychological Association is administered by a Board of Directors and a group of committee chairs. The officers are elected by the general membership annually and are installed in office at an annual dinner meeting of the membership. The board meets on a monthly basis.
Founded as a informal group in 1947, some Santa Barbara psychologists began to work within the community addressing local mental health problems and the broader spectrum of professional interests. In 1977 SBCPA became a chapter of the California Psychological Association (CPA), a state association of the American Psychological Association (APA).
SBCPA is administered by a Board of Directors and a group of committee chairs. The officers are elected by the general membership annually and are installed in office at an annual dinner meeting of the membership. The Board meets on a monthly basis, and attendance is open to all SBCPA members.
