From our DVABPsi President: Dr. Ingrid K. Tulloch 
 

Welcome to the Delaware Valley Association of Black Psychologists (DVABPsi)!

 

It is my honor to welcome you to this vibrant and essential community. As part of the Association of Black Psychologists (ABPsi), we, the Delaware Valley Association of Black Psychologists (DVABPsi), play a unique and significant role in the liberation of the African mind, the empowerment of the African character, and the illumination of the African spirit.

 

Our chapter is a beacon of resilience, unity, and purpose in the Delaware Valley. Inspired by the work of trailblazing Black psychologists like Dr. Joseph L. White—who is celebrated as the “Father of Black Psychology” for pioneering psychology rooted in the Black experience and dedicated to social justice—we draw from his example as we work to support mental health and wellness within our communities. 

 

Dr. White’s legacy teaches us that culturally responsive and affirming mental health care is not only possible and essential to true liberation. In that same spirit, DVABPsi is committed to advancing mental wellness, cultural pride, and social justice for individuals of African descent. With each of you—our valued members, advocates, and supporters—we strive to bring about meaningful change, support mental health and wellness, and inspire future generations.

 

I thank you, each and every one of you, for your unwavering dedication to this vital mission. Your commitment is the driving force behind our journey of empowerment, healing, and enlightenment. Together, we are stronger, united, and committed to a brighter future.

In community and solidarity,

 

President, DVABPsi
