Caribbean Regional Conference of Psychology

We are pleased to announce that CRCP2025, the flagship event of the Caribbean Alliance of National Psychological Associations – CANPA – will be held on June 9-13, 2025, in Bridgetown, Barbados.

This conference is a continuation of the historic conferences beginning with the inaugural CRCP2011 in Nassau, Bahamas followed by Suriname in 2014, Haiti in 2016, Jamaica in 2018 and St Croix, US Virgin Islands in 2021.

Under the theme, “Building Mental Health Resiliencies: Empowering Our Communities,” this year’s conference seeks to provide a platform for interdisciplinary dialogue and collaboration among professionals, scholars, and stakeholders invested in the mental health and well-being of Caribbean communities. Such a platform explores the cultural, historical and socio-economic factors influencing mental health perceptions, help-seeking behaviours and treatment outcomes in our context. This conference seeks to showcase innovative approaches, best practices and other research findings aimed at empowering communities. At every iteration, we endeavour to provide the best of professional development opportunities for our Caribbean practitioners at home and across the diaspora while fostering networking opportunities and partnership to strengthen our services, promote advocacy and local evidence-based interventions in our communities throughout the region. With this in mind, we invite papers from the various disciplines that explore the themes and subthemes of the CRCP2025.

CRCP2025 encourages professionals, researchers, educators, and students across disciplines to submit abstracts that align with the CRCP2025 theme and sub-themes. Your innovative ideas will contribute to advancing mental health in Caribbean communities.

The conference theme is BUILDING MENTAL HEALTH RESILIENCIES, EMPOWERING OUR COMMUNITIES. Abstracts are welcome on any of the following six sub-themes, or on other topics that are embodied in the overall conference theme that are not captured in the sub-themes and topics below…
