PRESIDENT’S WELCOME

It is my great pleasure to welcome you to our 6th Annual Middle East Psychological Association Conference and Expo. I am especially delighted as we are hosting this year’s event again in person after few years of living in the virtual world. As always, we worked hard to bring you another successful event and a great experience.

It is very exciting to see all the things we have accomplished in the past years, however, there’s still much more work ahead of us. Together we will continue working on transforming Psychology in the Middle East but there’s no doubt that we can only accomplish this through the support and trust you give our association.

To address the specific needs of all attendees, this unique conference provides three different tracks: one for professionals, one for students and one for the general public or community. Attendees are able to earn continuing education hours from the American Psychological Association (APA) as well as having the opportunity to network and meet face-to-face with high-level professionals and exhibitors who will provide the latest in: publishing, educational programs, technology and career opportunities within the field of Psychology.

Throughout this conference, please take the opportunity to stay engaged, network, keep us proactive and help us share the future of MEPA. My personal welcome to the 2023 MEPA Conference and Expo goes to all of you!

Thank you,
Dr. Joanne Hands, Ph.D., LMFT, LPC
MEPA President

ORGANIZED BY MEPA

The Middle East Psychological Association (MEPA) was established in November 2010, to unify psychologists and other mental health practitioners in the Middle East. The Middle East Psychological Association has several goals. For one, it aims to unify all of the psychologists and mental health clinicians in the Middle East. The organization also aims to be a resource for the Middle East community and to destigmatize the practice of psychology, which has traditionally been seen as a Western phenomenon. The Middle East Psychological Association will also provide ongoing professional development activities in the form of workshops, training, and public information for both consumers of mental health resources and social service professionals.
