InterPsych forums (aka mailing lists) are one way mental health
and behavioural science professionals, students, and interested
others keep up with discourse in their fields, as well as keeping
up with each other.
Below find a listing of InterPsych forums which use e-mail.
Monthly, you'll receive InterPsych's newsletter which will keep
you informed of things going on around InterPsych, as well as
inform you of other InterPsych tools and programs available to
you in the fields of mental health and behavioural science.
Like everything on the Internet, InterPsych is evolving. We look
forward to your participation in the developing global community
in cyberspace.
