Defeat depression!
The Mood Disorders Society of Canada is organizing a defeat depression campaign. Walks/runs/rides are being held across Canada that day to raise funds in support of activities related to depression and mental disorders. The funds raised in each location will go to support a local organization dedicated to raising awareness and support for the cause of mental health and mental illness.

President's Message
Welcome to the website of the Association of Psychology in Newfoundland Labrador (APNL)!
If you are a Psychologist and wish to contact us, please find our contact information in the "Contact Us" section of the website.
If you are seeking Psychology Services, please use our "Find a Psychology Provider" section.
The APNL is a fraternal organization dedicated to the promotion of psychology in Newfoundland and Labrador and to the service of our members across the province. Our parent organization is the Canadian Psychological Association. Currently, there are approximately 220 APNL members province-wide. APNL was known as ANP until June 2007.
Research and academic psychologists use the scientific method to study human thoughts, feelings and behaviour. Applied psychologists apply the results of that research for the betterment of humanity at the societal, policy, program, organizational, group, family and individual level.
Psychologists analyze human development across the lifespan and are an integral part of the education and health systems in this province. Psychologists in independent practice contribute to the well-being of individuals, families, organizations, and communities throughout Newfoundland and Labrador.
Psychology is for everyone!
As of the 2010 AGM, APNL has made a fee schedule recommendation at the rate of $135/hour for individual treatment provided by a Registered Psychologist. We arrived at this decision by comparing rates in the other Atlantic Provinces, and the membership voted at the last AGM.
