Dear Colleagues,

The Connecticut Psychological Association (CPA) promotes social justice, evidence-based social policy and access to quality psychological services.The purpose of this survey is for us to learn how to make CPA more valuable to you. Your answers will  help us prioritize our advocacy for our profession and clients.

We need to reach out to you for survey data and stories of your experience to support our advocacy. That's how we helped pass the 2019 Mental Health Parity Bill. But you may remain anonymous if you prefer.

Share as much or as little as you want in the comment boxes, and if a question is not relevant to you, or you prefer not to answer, just skip it.

Thank you so much!
Your CPA colleagues
