This committee is a grassroots movement started by graduate students, interns, post docs, faculty, and staff within the Department of Clinical and Health Psychology. In society, psychologists are given a unique position to be leaders in the community, in medicine, and in the political sphere. The Education and Advocacy Committee focuses on topics related to multiculturalism, cultural humility, personal and professional growth, and social justice.

As the Education and Advocacy Committee, we hope to advance our knowledge in order to become leaders in psychology and beyond so that we may bring about positive outcomes on a local and global level for those we serve.The main goals of this committee are to (1) raise awareness about local, national, and international issues of inequality and (2) promote advocacy for social justice.

The Health Equity, Anti-Racism, and Diversity (HEARD) committee was started by faculty, staff, postdocs, interns, and students within the department of Clinical and Health Psychology. The HEARD committee focuses on creating change, both within UF and in the community, based on principles of anti-racism, health equity, and promotion of diversity and multiculturalism.
