The Association of Black Psychologists was founded in San Francisco in 1968 by a number of Black Psychologists from across the country. They united to actively address the serious problems facing Black Psychologists and the larger Black community. Guided by the principle of self-determination, these psychologists and students set about building an institution through which they could address the long-neglected needs of Black professionals. Their goal was to have a positive impact upon the mental health of the national Black community by means of planning, programs, services, training, and advocacy. Their objectives were:

To organize their skills and abilities to influence necessary change.
To address themselves to significant social problems affecting the Black community and other segments of the population whose needs society has not fulfilled.
The Association of Black Psychologists has grown from a handful of concerned professionals into an independent, autonomous organization of over 1400 members.

Our goal is to have a positive impact on the mental health of the national Black community by means of planning, programs, services, training, and advocacy.

An engaged opportunity to speak with scholars, students, and wisdom-keepers.

Mbongi

Mbongi (pronounced Bone-gee) is a word in the Kikongo language which means “learning place.” When people come together to resolve a community problem, the problem-solving meeting is referred to as a Mbongi. The Mbongi assemblies are designed to “plead our case,” and to critique and clarify important social issues which concern us dearly.
