The Motherhood Committee of Division 35 (Society for the Psychology of Women) of the American Psychological Association (APA) was established to support the needs of mothers in training, early career and other professional stages in psychology as well as to put in place supports to mothers in the field. Current activities of the committee include advocating for family leave policy in APA-accredited training sites in a cross-division work group, contributing writing and other resources on feminism and motherhood in The Feminist Psychologist, conference presentations at APA and AWP, and our affiliate email list FemPsychMoms for discussion and support for navigating parenting and careers in psychology.
