Australia Chinese Student Psychological Association

Welcome to the official page for the Australia Chinese Student Psychological Association (ACSPA). We are a student-run association that aims to promote a culturally inclusive mental health safe space for Chinese students who are interested in studying Psychology. We collaborate with mental health industries in Australia and China to create an academic and cultural network between our students and Chinese researchers, psychologists and professionals in the field.

ACSPA offers a range of activities for students to develop research and professional skills, as well as exposing our members to internships, mentoring and career opportunities.

Club Aims:

1. To promote a culturally inclusive mental health safe space that bridges the gap between native Chinese speakers studying psychology and Chinese mental health professionals.
2. To create an academic and cultural network between native Chinese speakers studying psychology and Chinese researchers, psychologists and industry professionals in Australia.
3. To bridge the language barrier faced by native Chinese speakers studying psychology by conducting seminars and tutorial sessions in multilingual settings.
4. To ease the transition to practice for native Chinese speakers studying psychology students by exposing them to internships, mentoring and career opportunities.
5. To connect native Chinese speakers studying psychology to industry professionals in China, and the broader overseas Chinese community.
