The Indiana Psychological Association is dedicated to advancing diversity and promoting social issues of diversity, which we define as visible and invisible differences within identities, including but not limited to culture, economic status and history, educational attainment, occupation, gender identity, gender expression, sexual identity, sexual orientation, affectional orientation, mental health status, HIV status, religion and/or spiritual beliefs/practices, age, race, ethnic origin, national origin, geographic region, capabilities, immigration status and family systems. Additionally, we recognize the diversity of thoughts or ideas, lived experience, perspectives, and values.


The primary goal of IPA's Diversity Committee is to decrease the gap in mental health disparities in the state of Indiana. A list of the values we strive toward in increasing psychologists' cultural awareness is available at the following link: https://www.indianapsychology.org/diversity_mission_resource_l.php. Diversity resource links can be found at: https://www.indianapsychology.org/diversity_resource_guide.php.
